“Appaloosa” won’t hit theaters until tomorrow, but writer-director Ed Harris is already talking about potential sequels to the Western, according to MTV.

The film is based on a novel by Robert B. Parker and follows two gunmen (Harris and Viggo Mortensen) who are hired to free a small town from the grips of a ruthless rancher (Jeremy Irons).

“Parker wrote two sequels to this, which I think could be combined into a sequel,” Harris told MTV. “It would be interesting to investigate it.”

Harris may be getting a little ahead of himself, but remember how quickly sequels are actually given the green light. If “Appaloosa” performs well over the coming weeks, chances for a sequel will dramatically increase.

Whatever happens, it’s good to see Harris is all enthusiastic about directing. From what I’ve read so far, “Appaloosa” sounds like a solid Western. Can’t wait to see it.
