Meek's Cutoff Trailer

A new trailer for director Kelly Reichardt's Western Meek's Cutoff has arrived. The film stars Michelle Williams and Paul Dano in a story about three families who become lost on the Oregon Trailer after taking a shortcut. You can check out the first footage from this gritty thriller below.



The year is 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, and a wagon train of three families has hired mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a short cut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage. Over the coming days, the emigrants face the scourges of hunger, thirst and their own lack of faith in one another's instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a guide who has proven himself unreliable and a man who has always been seen as a natural born enemy.

Meek's Cutoff was released April 8th, 2011 and stars Paul Dano, Bruce Greenwood, Shirley Henderson, Neal Huff, Zoe Kazan, Tommy Nelson, Will Patton, Rod Rondeaux. The film is directed by Kelly Reichardt.

    Haha, Oregon Trail the movie. Takes me back to the old school days in elementary school when we'd play that game on those ancient Mac's.
