Western dreams come true for Brosnan, Neeson

Like many boys of their generation, actors Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson loved to play "Cowboys and Indians" and watch western movies at the weekend matinee. So it was a dream come true for both Irishmen to co-star in "Seraphim Falls," a western epic about revenge and forgiveness set in the 1860s, shortly after U.S. Civil War.

Oh, puke.

"When Pierce and I first got our costumes on, on horseback … the pair of us were just giggling like schoolboys," Neeson said on Thursday, the morning after "Seraphim Falls" had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.

In the movie, Neeson’s character, a former Confederate colonel chases Brosnan, a former Union army captain, from the Rocky Mountains to the desert to carry out his last mission: revenge for an atrocity.

In the post Brokeback Mountain world one feels the urge to insert a gay cowboys joke somewhere in here. But I will refrain.

Anyway, release date still to be determined, in case you are interested.
