Colin Farrell, Ed Harris to star in Weir film

Peter Weir is currently developing a fact-based drama titled "The Way Back," and according to News.bg, Colin Farrell and Ed Harris are on board to star.

The site also reports the flick will start shooting in Bulgaria next March, with a relese set for 2011. Based on the book by Slavomir Ravich, the film centeres on a group of soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940.

Weir, who has been nominated for six Oscars so far, also directed "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World," "The Truman Show" and "Dead Poets Society."

Farrell most recently starred in "Pride and Glory." He's got a bunch of upcoming projects in post-prod right now, including "Crazy Heart" and Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus."

As for Ed Harris, his most recent flick was "Appaloosa," which I still haven't seen. He's filming "Once Fallen" at the moment.

Ed Harris ready to saddle up ‘Appaloosa’ sequel

“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.
