Patrick Wilson & Matthew Fox Board Western BONE TOMAHAWK

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Patrick Wilson and Matthew Fox have signed on to join Kurt Russell and Matthew Jenkins in Caliber Media's upcoming western BONE TOMAHAWK.

The film "revolves around four men attempting to rescue a group of captives from a band of cannibalistic troglodytes that live beyond the edge of civilization. Wilson will play Arthur O'Dwyer, a cowboy whose rise to the foreman position of a cattle outfit is interrupted by an unfortunate accident that reshapes his life in unforeseen ways. Fox will play John Brooder, whose dark inclinations have put him and his polished weapons at the very edge of the western frontier"

S. Craig Zahler wrote the script, and will also direct.

In 2003, Wilson won critical acclaim for his performance in Mike Nichols' 2003 drama HBO mini-series Angels in America. He received both a Golden Globe nomination and an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Wilson has appeared in feature films such as The Alamo, The Phantom of the Opera, Little Children, Watchmen, The A-Team, The Ledge, Insidious, and The Conjuring. He starred in the CBS drama A Gifted Man, which premiered in 2011 and was cancelled in 2012.

His Broadway credits include: All My Sons, Barefoot in the Park, Something Good, Oklahoma!, The Full Monty, and The Gershwins' Fascinating Rhythm.
