The first Bone Tomahawk image has arrived, giving us our first look at actor Kurt Russell in a Western since 1993’s Tombstone.  Russell leads the film as a sheriff who, along with a few other folks, attempts to rescue a group of captives from a band of cannibalistic troglodytes that live beyond the edge of civilization.  The feature marks the debut of director S. Craig Zahler, and he’s put together a really solid ensemble cast that includes Richard Jenkins, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Sean Young, David Arquette, Lili Simmons, and Fred Melamed.  Production on the feature just wrapped and it is expected to hit theaters late next year.

Check out the first Bone Tomahawk image after the jump, but beware: you will be mighty envious of Russell’s glorious facial hair.
