Blackthorn Trailer
It's been said (but unsubstantiated) that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in a standoff with the Bolivian military in 1908. In Blackthorn, Cassidy (Sam Shepard) survived, and is quietly living out his years under the name James Blackthorn in a secluded Bolivian village. Tired of his long exile from the US and hoping to see his family again before he dies, Cassidy sets out on the long journey home. But when an unexpected encounter with an ambitious young criminal (Eduardo Noriega) derails his plans, he is thrust into one last adventure, the likes of which he hasn't experienced since his glory days with the Sundance Kid. Magnolia Pictures will release Blackthorn in select theaters on October 7th. You can check out the trailer and poster below.

Blackthorn was released October 7th, 2011 and stars Sam Shepard, Eduardo Noriega, Stephen Rea, Magaly Solier, Dominique McElligott, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Padraic Delaney, Daniel Aguirre. The film is directed by Mateo Gil.

@moviewiz001 I've noticed it in some trailers in the past. Only this time I was focused on who the old man was

@bawnian-dexeus It's funny because both trailers end the exact same way.
