Here in today's South, as then, the moonshine crowd is also a shootin' crowd. And back in the day, guns were part of farm life–not just a part of a crime story. Didn't General Patton (from Wise, VA, a few counties west of Franklin County where this story takes place) admonish a journalist for not knowing the difference in a pearl handled versus an ivory handled revolver? Detail matters.

This and the future posters speak to the level of detail and historic accuracy that the John Hillcoat team strives for in their films–props, costumes, locations, language. Can't wait to see this! Bringing back character driven stories with awesome cinematography and acting. Enough of the big budget CGI shows…that's what video games are for.
