SXSW 2016: Ti West’s IN A VALLEY OF VIOLENCE Gets a Poster

Entertainment Weekly revealed the first poster for Ti West‘s latest, In A Valley of Violence, set to premiere at this year’s SXSW. The film stars Ethan Hawke as a drifter making his way toward Mexico when he lands in a rough town called Denton, where, as the title suggests, violence ensues. The film also stars James Ransone, John Travolta, Taissa Farmiga, and Karen Gillan.

In A Valley of Violence is set to have its world premiere March 12th at SXSW in Austin and will have a nationwide release later this Fall.

Here’s the synopsis from SXSW:

A mysterious drifter named Paul and his dog make their way towards Mexico through the barren desert of the old west. In an attempt to shorten their journey, they cut through the center of a large valley — landing themselves in the forgotten town of Denton, a place now dubbed by locals as a ‘valley of violence.’ The once-popular mining town is nearly abandoned and controlled by a brash group of misfits — chief among them Gilly (James Ransone), the troublemaking son of the town’s Marshal (John Travolta). As tensions rise between Paul and Gilly, Denton’s remaining residents bear witness to an inevitable act of violence that starts a disastrous chain reaction, infecting the petty lives of all involved and quickly drags the whole town into the bloody crosshairs of revenge. Mary-Anne (Taissa Farmiga) and Ellen (Karen Gillan), two bickering sisters who run the town’s only hotel, try to find the good in both men, while desperately searching for their own salvation. Only the world-weary Marshal struggles to stop the violent hysteria, but after a gruesome discovery about Paul’s past… there is no stopping the escalation.
