Pierce Brosnan & Samuel L. Jackson Team Up for Revenge Western

Pierce Brosnan checked off the western movie category on his resume when he starred in “Seraphim Falls” in 2006. For Samuel L. Jackson, it was the critically acclaimed Quentin Tarantino western, 2016’s “The Hateful Eight.” They’re both giving it another go, together, with Richard Gray’s “The Unholy Trinity,” set to be released in theaters on June 13.

Pierce Brosnan Is A Sheriff Facing Off Against Samuel L. Jackson In ‘The Unholy Trinity’

Along with Brosnan and Jackson, “The Unholy Trinity” features Brandon Lessard, Veronica Ferres, Ethan Peck, Katrina Bowden, and David Arquette. Lessard plays a young man named Henry Broadway, who heads to the town of Trinity after his father, Isaac, is hanged.

Before Isaac died, he told his son that Trinity’s sheriff is a liar who framed him, and he wants Henry to seek revenge. He cryptically tells him, “Look to God for your reward.”

Also in the crowd is Jackson’s St. Christopher, who follows Broadway to Trinity. Broadway discovers that Isaac wasn’t a good guy, and he once stole a chest of treasure, which he buried in Trinity. St. Christopher thinks Broadway can get it for him.

Brosnan’s Dove is the new sheriff of Trinity — the sheriff Broadway intended to kill is already dead. After Broadway discovers what kind of man his dad really was, he teams up with Dove to take down the bad guys.

Pierce Brosnan & Samuel L. Jackson Reveal Their Connection to Westerns

“The Unholy Trinity” sees legends Jackson, 76, and Brosnan, 72, star in their first time onscreen together, but on opposite sides of the law. Brosnan plays Sheriff Gabriel Dove, a fair and just lawman. Brosnan admitted that he had a lot of say in who Sheriff Dove is.

“I named him actually, I love the name Gabriel,” he told CBR. “I also made him Irish, as there were so many Irish, so many of my brothers and sisters at that time period, and still today, we traveled far and wide.”

Jackson and Brosnan were thrilled when they got the scripts. Not only was “The Holy Trinity” filmed in picturesque Montana, but both actors had fond childhood memories of the genre.

“I grew up watching Westerns,” Jackson said. “I grew up watching Western television shows. Every week, there was “Cheyenne” or “Have Gun — Will Travel.” I got guns every Christmas, cap guns. I played Cowboys and Indians a lot.”

“I grew up with Westerns in Ireland,” Brosnan added. “I went to the pictures every weekend and the cowboy genre is in my bones. I love it.”
