Jason Momoa Is A Desert Runner In 'The Last Manhunt' Western Trailer

"That's not the right way... Peace doesn't follow death, does it?" Saban Films has released an official trailer for a thriller independent titled The Last Manhunt, directed by actor Christian Camargo. This hasn't played at any festivals and still doesn't have a release date, but it should be out very soon. In 1909, when a reputable murder sparks a Shakespearean tragedy, Willie Boy accidentally shoots his love's father after a confrontation goes awry. As President Taft soon arrives in town, a local sheriff decides to lead two Native American trackers in pursuit of justice for their fallen tribal leader. Based on a true story told by the Chemehuevi tribe, the film features a mostly Native American ensemble cast. Directed by Jason Momoa as Willie, the film stars Lily Gladstone, Martin Sensmeier, Mainei Kinimaka, Zahn McClarnon, Raoul Max Trujillo, Brandon Oakes and Tantoo Cardinal. It looks like a group of friends went out and made a movie in the desert, but it also seems like a Native American story worth telling. Take a look.

Here is the first official trailer for The Last Manhunt by Christian Camargo, direct from YouTube:

Set in 1909, in the middle of the dying Wild West… Willie Boy (Jason Momoa), a long-distance desert runner in the Chemehuevi tradition, falls in love with the young native beauty, Carlota. But Carlota's father, a Chemehuevi shaman and local tribal chief, refuses to allow the young couple to be together. In a fatal confrontation, Carlota's father falls dead from an accidental gunshot and the young lovers flee to the sun-enslaved Mohave Desert. The local sheriff leads a mounted party armed with firepower and two Native American trackers who seek justice for their "murdered" tribal leader. Willie Boy and Carlota evade capture by surviving the men and their horses. However, fake news intended to sell newspapers adds to the growing pressure to capture Willie Boy. In a desert that purifies everyone, the search for Willie Boy forces everyone to face their own demons in this tragic tale of love, death, and desert heat. The Last Manhunt > is directed by American actor/filmmaker Christian Camargo, director of the film Days and Nights before and nothing else. The screenplay is written by Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, from a story by Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett. Saban Films will release The Last Manhunt but no official release date has been set yet - stay tuned. Who wants to watch?
