Alexander Nevsky and Joe Cornet announced they’re following Gunfight at Rio Bravo and Taken from Rio Bravo with The Last Heroes of Rio Bravo

Joe Cornet and Alexander Nevsky’s action packed western Gunfight at Rio Bravo was released in the US by Shout! The film was released in January by Shout! Studios and is available across all major digital platforms. For example, you can find it on Amazon HERE. The sequel Taken From Rio Bravo, which was shot in Arizona in the summer of last year, is currently in the final stages post-production. After the project was so well received by international distributors during the Cannes Film Festival in May, Cornet and Nevsky announced that they are putting a second sequel on fast track production! This one will be titled The Last Heroes of Rio Bravo, and filming is scheduled to begin in August.

Cornet will be directing The Last Heroes of Rio Bravo from a screenplay by Craig Hamann, who also wrote the previous two films and crafted the stories with Nevsky. The plot summary for the third film in the series has not been released, but we know that Nevsky will reprise his role as Ivan Turchaninov, and Cornet the role of Sheriff Vernon Kelly. The names of other actors from Gunfight At Rio Bravo or Taken From Rio Bravo are being kept secret for a future announcement. The filmmakers note that “some other big names of action cinema” are also in talks to join the cast – with previous entries having featured the likes of Matthias Hues, Cynthia Rothrock, Don “The Dragon” Wilson, and Olivier Gruner.

The Last Heroes of Rio Bravo is coming our way from ETA Films, Hollywood Storm, and San Rafael Productions.

Cornet, who is also producing the film, provided the following statement: “It is my pleasure to announce that I will be directing the third installment of the Rio Bravo franchise. This ‘triquel,’ is called The Last Heroes of Rio Bravo. Alexander Nevsky and I will be back in an even bigger, more action packed western which should thrill audiences, production is slated to begin very soon!“

Douglas “Fini” Finical and Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart) are executive producing the triquel. Sean Murray (Call of Duty Black Ops) is creating the musical score, and Art Camacho (Half Past dead) is handling the fight choreography. Sam Wilkinson (Paydirt) returns as Director of Photography.
