Harrison Ford is set to play Wyatt Earp in Black Hats
A brilliant, original thriller that re-creates an exciting and dangerous time in American history and brings together two storied and feared crime legends.
The Prohibition era has just begun, the Wild West a fading memory, and Wyatt Earp is making ends meet as a detective in Los Angeles. To help the late Doc Holliday's son, Wyatt goes east, where his onetime deputy, Bat Masterson, is New York's top sportswriter. Wyatt and Masterson face a showdown with a new breed of badmen-mobsters led by Brooklyn's brutal young Al Capone, in a takeover of young Holliday's hot new speakeasy. As the '20s (and machine guns) roar, the lawless lawmen enter a glittering world of showgirls and cafe society, of gangsters and gamblers, where their legends may even end as Scarface Al's begins.
Kurt Johnstad, who co-wrote 300 and is co-writing its sequel, 300: Battle of Artemisia, has been tapped to adapt the novel.

Sounds interesting, but for me Costner is Wyatt Earp.

I'm not completely sold on this, but I must admit that a film about Earp after the O.K. Corral sounds intriguing.

Sounds like I'm there, should the right piece fall in place.
