An all-star cast couldn't save the 1995 Western, Wild Bill, starring Jeff Bridges, Ellen Barkin, Diane Lane and more.
At this point, it's easy to determine that when it comes to movies, no matter how big the production, there's absolutely no guarantee it's going to find any success. There have been plenty of instances when the hype outshines the actual final product. Studios have used many different tactics to get people in the seats at theaters, and nothing is ever a guarantee.
The legendary Wild Bill Hickok, who was born James Butler Hickok in 1837, was famous for his skills as a gunfighter, professional gambler, and even his time upholding the law as a peacemaker. His iconic image was enhanced with his long hair and handlebar mustache. The gunslinger's fame came from a 1861 shootout in Springfield, Missouri, when he shot three men who were attempting to ambush him. This kicked off the start of his legendary history.
Ellen Barkin Strapped on Her Boots By the time Ellen Barkin signed on to be in Wild Bill, she had already established herself as a popular and talented actress. Fans already knew her from hits such as The Big Easy, Sea of Love, and Diner. Adding her to the credit list was a no-brainer for Wild Bill as she took on the role of Calamity Jane. For those who don't know, Calamity Jane was a well-known rough and tough partner of Hickok.
Before Crafting Wizard Wands, John Hurt Was Ready to Duel Himself Even though Wild Bill Hickok had plenty of reasons not to trust everyone who entered his public life, he still had a few select friends, and one of them was Charlie Prince. John Hurt took on this role, using the commanding persona and charm he had been dishing out to audiences long before stepping into this role.
