The classic western TV series “Gunsmoke,” that ran for 20 seasons, is being rebooted as a feature for CBS Films. James Arness, Milburn Stone and Amanda Blake led the cast of the TV version.
CBS has tapped Gregory Poirier (”National Treasure: Book of Secrets”) to write the script.
The action-adventure will re-imagine Marshal Matt Dillon, the hero of the classic Western, for modern audiences. According to Risky Biz Blog, the movie will still be set in the Old West but will have a more “contemporary look” and modern action.
