Iconic cowboy character, Western staple and all-around awesome guy Bill Cassidy is finally getting what he deserved: a biopic!
Variety reports that Pterodactyl Productions is planning a film about the classic character who was created in 1904 by writer Clarence E. Mulford. He appeared as a rough-talking galoot in a series of stories and novels before being ported to the big-screen in 1935 as a clean-cut hero. William Boyd played the character in 66 films from ‘30-50s.
The character is now part of popular culture, having spawned comic books, radio serials and whatnot. Mark Canton (300) will produce.
