By Thomas Manning on May 3, 2023 • ( 0 )

EoM Senior Interviewer Thomas Manning recently sat down with writer and director Jesse V. Johnson (for the second time) to discuss his latest film, One Ranger. Johnson breaks down the film’s unique fusion of Texas and British culture, the stellar cast of actors, and the importance of creating a safe environment during production on action set pieces. Also, if you stick around for the end of the interview, Johnson shares an awesome Scott Adkins story.

Official Synopsis:

British Intelligence meets Texas Justice in this white-knuckle action-thriller. A gunslinging Texas ranger (Thomas Jane) tracks a bank robber (Dean Jagger) across the desert— only to discover he’s an international terrorist set on detonating a bomb in the heart of London. When the lawman’s partner is killed, he is drawn into partnership with a British intelligence agent (Dominique Tipper) and her boss (John Malkovich) to bring the outlaw to justice — dead or alive.

In select theaters, on VOD, and digital May 5th, 2023.
Available on Blu-ray and DVD June 13th, 2023.
