Michael Fassbender, Jamie Foxx, and Peter Dinklage are set to join the remake of the acclaimed Western by Sam Peckinpah.

The Wild Bunch remake hails from Mel Gibson for Warner Bros. who is financing and releasing. Gibson also co-wrote the script alongside Bryan Bagby. He will also executive produce the movie. Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to produce. 

The remake of the 1969 Western will retell the story of aging outlaws trying to live out the final days of the Wild West wanting to score one last time. The original starred William Holden and Ernest Borgnine and was nominated for Oscars for original screenplay and score.

This will be the first time Gibson steps behind the camera since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge. The feature earned Gibson an Oscar nom for Best Director and Best Picture, taking home two awards.
