EXCLUSIVE: TriCoast Worldwide has lassoed international rights to Timothy Woodward Jr.’s western Hickok starring Luke Hemsworth, Kris Kristofferson and Bruce Dern, and platinum-selling country music artist, Trace Adkins.

Hemsworth plays Wild Bill Hickok who is on the run from the law when he rides into Abilene, Kansas – the most hedonistic town west of the Mississippi. In Abilene, Hickok is offered the position of Sheriff by the town’s mayor, in hopes that his unparalleled shooting skills will tame the wildest cow-town in the West. While delivering his own brand of frontier justice, the infamous hard-drinking gunfighter’s reputation as the fastest draw in the West is put to the test. Dern portrays Doc Rivers O’Roark, Kristofferson is George Knox while Adkins plays Phil Poe.

Cinedigm has domestic rights and will open Hickok on July 7. Pic will also be available day and date for purchase through On Demand and Digital HD ​services.

Hickok is directed by Timothy Woodward Jr. and written by Michael Lanahan, produced by Woodward Jr., Lauren de Normandie, Henry Penzi and Chris Nicoletti, and executive produced by Benjamin Gerry, JD Seraphine, Kirk Peterson and Eric Peterson.
