The script "centers on a stagecoach disaster and the bounty hunters, Confederate soldiers and other figures affected by it, biding their time at a saloon during a blizzard."

Tickets, at $200 each, go on sale this Friday, April 11 at 12 p.m. for members of Film Independent, the LACMA Film Club and the NYT Film Club. Remaining tickets will go on sale on April 16. All proceeds will go to Film Independent's programming work at LACMA.

He has received two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, two BAFTAs and has earned nominations for an Emmy and a GRAMMY Award.
