Ethan Hawke is set to develop #TheGunfighter remake at 20th Century. 🎬
The original film follows the notorious gunfighter Jimmy Ringo who rides into town to find his true love, who doesn’t want to see him. He hasn’t come looking for trouble, but trouble finds him.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
