Gunless tries new twists on western
Phillips, who wrote and directed Gunless, relished the chance to play against the squeaky-clean Mountie image of his star Paul Gross, who leaped to TV stardom with Due South.
Gross plays the Montana Kid, a gunslinger who finds it difficult to scare up a fight, or even a gun, when he winds up in a friendly town on the Canadian side of the border.
"Not only did we want to play with the image of Paul Gross and turn it on its head, he wanted to attack that as well. He insisted he had this very long greasy hair and he is literally covered in mud and pig manure when he rides into town," Phillips said.
