Jason Momoa to star in ‘The Last Manhunt’- An Old West film about the legend of Willie Boy

Game of Thrones’ cast included a great number of actors and actresses who can be described as the most down-to-earth celebrities. Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo, is definitely one of them. Despite achieving great success as the superhero Aquaman, he has managed to stay true to his roots. The actor seems to enjoy checking out all of the cool things the world has to offer. He will now be seen taking a trip to the wild west, in his upcoming movie The Last Manhunt.

The Last Manhunt tells the true story of the last great American manhunt of the old west, based on the oral history of the Chemehuevi tribe in Joshua Tree, California. Game of Thrones and Dune star Momoa is co-writer, executive producer, and also playing a role.

Set in 1909 when a reputed murder spawns a tragedy reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, the film follows Willie Boy and his love Carlota who go on the run after he accidentally shoots her father in a confrontation gone terribly wrong. With President Taft coming to the area, the local sheriff leads two Native American trackers seeking justice for their murdered tribal leader.

The film features a largely Native American ensemble cast, including Martin Sensmeier (The Magnificent Seven) as Willie Boy; Mainei Kinimaka (See) as Carlota; Zahn McClarnon (Reservation Dogs) as Carlota’s father; Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) as Carlota’s mother; Raoul Trujillo (Apocalypto); Brandon Oakes (Togo) and Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves).
