First look at Ed Harris’ adaptation of Kim Zupan’s The Ploughmen (TBA)
Ed Harris To Direct Robert Duvall, Garrett Hedlund In ‘The Ploughmen’
Pic is slated to begin filming in early May on location in the Missouri Breaks area of Montana, and in New Mexico.
Ginger Sledge of Zenzero Pictures (Where’d You Go Bernadette, Last Flag Flying) is set to produce, as is Robert Knott who produced Appaloosa together with Sledge and Harris.
The Ploughmen is the story of the strange friendship that develops between a haunted young deputy sheriff and a notorious old murderer that turns both their worlds upside down. The men sit across from each other in the dark, talking through the bars of a county jail cell. John Gload is a killer so adept at his job that only now has he been apprehended. Valentine Millimaki is low man in the Copper County sheriff’s department, who works the overnight shift that puts him in proximity with the killer. The young sheriff finds much in common with his prisoner, and dangerously seeks counsel from him.

Ed Harris brings Vietnam war hero’s saga to light in ‘Full Measure’
A true tale of sacrifice and a nation’s gratitude, Friday’s “The Last Full Measure” was for Ed Harris, all about friendship.
“Measure,” a passion project for writer-director Todd Robinson, tells two stories.
One is set in a firefight in 1966 Vietnam, where the US Air Force’s William Pitsenbarger saved over 60 lives. Rather than board the last helicopter out, he stayed with the endangered squad and died. He was 21.
The other story, 32 years later, reveals the effort to honor Pitsenbarger’s ultimate sacrifice with the Medal of Honor. What’s remarkable is how the relentless decades-long push for this recognition came from Vietnam vets who had never met Pitsenbarger until that day — he was Air Force, they were Army.
Harris, an essential part of the film’s distinguished roster, is Ray Mott, one of the now-elderly Vietnam vets who just would not give up. The others are Samuel L. Jackson, William Hurt and Peter Fonda (his final film).
Pitsenbarger’s parents are played by Christopher Plummer and Diane Ladd. Sebastian Stan (“Avengers” as the Winter Soldier) is the Pentagon staffer whose investigation of the case uncovers a political minefield.
“Todd is a good friend, I’ve known him for 18 to 20 years. Our daughters have known each other since they were young from horseback riding,” Harris said last week enroute to Brooklyn, where he had rehearsals for a restaging of his Broadway hit “To Kill a Mockingbird” in Madison Square Garden for 18,000 students.
“Todd’s been wanting to make this film a long, long time. My part was relatively small — I just worked for a few days but I knew all about the trials and tribulations of these men from a movie I’d done years earlier, ‘Jacknife’ (he played a PTSD Vietnam vet opposite Robert De Niro).
“With Todd, this is a script he wrote and felt so intensely about, the more he learned about Pitsenbarger, the more he felt he had to make this movie. This was something he wouldn’t abandon.”
Harris knows what that’s like — “Pollock,” his Oscar-winning 2000 biopic of painter Jackson Pollock as director, producer and star, “was a total obsession. I worked on that for a good decade before we got it made.”
“I’ve got a film like that now, from a 2015 novel set in Montana, ‘The Plowman.’ I’ve got Garret Hedlund, Robert Duvall and my wife, Amy (Madigan, also in ‘The Last Full Measure’), and my daughter, Lily. It’s a good script but it’s tough, the budget’s a little high.”

Ed Harris in The Ploughmen (TBA)
Movie being shot in Fort Benton area
GREAT FALLS — Fort Benton might be looking a bit star-studded lately, as a movie called "The Ploughmen" is being partially filmed in the area.
On Saturday, the City of Fort Benton posted on Facebook: "The city roads around the courthouse will be closed tomorrow in order to assist with filming of The Ploughmen. Please do not park on roads posted as 'No parking'."
According to Deadline, actors Robert Duvall, Garret Hedlund, and Amy Madigan will star in the movie, which is being directed by Ed Harris. It's the story of the "strange friendship that develops between a haunted young deputy sheriff and a notorious old murderer that turns both their worlds upside down."
Fort Benton is no stranger to the bright lights of Hollywood; it was also featured in the Clint Eastwood-Jeff Bridges movie "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot." And this isn't Robert Duvall's first time filming in Montana - he starred in the 1984 movie "The Stone Boy," which was partially filmed in and around Cascade and Great Falls.
"The Ploughmen" is based on the 2014 book of the same name that was written by Kim Zupan, whose bio states: "A native Montanan, Kim lives in Missoula and grew up in and around Great Falls, where much of his novel The Ploughmen is set."
