William Moseley of The Chronicles of Narnia stars as the legendary frontiersman.
Following in the footsteps of Fess Parker, John Wayne, and Billy Bob Thornton, actor William Moseley (The Chronicles of Narnia, The Royals) assumes the role of legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett in The Ballad of Davy Crockett, a new period drama set for theatrical and digital release March 8.
Set in the early 1830s, the film focuses on Crockett’s adventures while fighting his way through the wild frontier to save his children from the clutches of an evil land baron (Colm Meaney of Hell on Wheels). According to producer-director Derek Estlin Purvis, “We wanted to explore the larger-than-life mythology that enshrouds the Crockett name, and use his ardent opposition to Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act as a throughline for what turned out to be a beautiful action-adventure tale.”
Valerie Jane Parker, Wyatt Parker and Nico Tirozzi co-star in The Ballad of David Crockett, which is being distributed by VMI Releasing. Here is the official trailer for the film.
