Before Charlie Bewley was cast as "Demetri" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, he was just finishing up Vancouver Film School, and he had few credits to his name aside from a couple of film school shorts ("Stuffed" and "Robotron"). Now, he's scoring roles that take him Sundance (Like Crazy).The latest from Bewley is a cameo in Slightly Single In L.A., and you can see a snippet of him in the trailer (attached).Given the context of his appearance and the dialogue given in the video, Bewley's character, Hayden, is obviously not the hero of the story in this film.He's got a couple of other new projects under way as well, per IMDb, called The Outback (an animated film) and The First Ride Of Wyatt Earp; and he's completed working on Soldiers Of Fortune and Ecstasy (the trailer …...

Currently enjoying something of a career renaissance, particularly leaning towards more independently minded cinema, is one time Batman Val Kilmer. With his name associated with no less than ten pictures in the previous year, the fifty one year old actor has been linked with another myriad of projects, the latest of which is The First Ride of Wyatt Earp, based on the life of the legendary figure from the Wild West of the early 19th century, and a man whose fame can be attributed foremost to his role in the notorious “Gunfight at the Ok Corral;” an incident which in itself has been subject of many screen-writers – including early 90′s pic Tombstone, where Kilmer played the part of Doc Holliday, perhaps his best remembered screenrole.
According to Variety, the new film based on a true story:

Val Kilmer has signed on to play one of the most famous gunslingers from the Wild West, good old Wyatt Earp. We’ve already seen Kilmer as a badass cowboy in Tombostone, where the actor portrayed Doc Holliday. Variety reports that the actor will be returning to the West in The First Ride of Wyatt Earp, where he will portray an older Earp reflecting on one of his most famous stories. The film is based on a true story which follows the story of “an elderly Earp sitting down with a reporter to reflect on the ride that made him a legend, when the young marshal rounded up a posse to track down the outlaw who mistakenly murdered the woman he loved.”
The First Ride of Wyatt Earp is said to be a “Young Guns for the next generation” and will appeal to a much younger crowd. I’d say that’s a bad idea,...

Val Kilmer will play the elderly Wyatt Earp in indie Western The First Ride of Wyatt Earp, which Michael Feifer is directing. The screenplay is penned by Darren Benjamin Shepherd and the flick is now in production in California. Barry Barnholtz and Jeffrey Schenck are producing through Hybrid banner, and Peter Sullivan is co-producing.
Val Kilmer has been involved in the Wyatt Earp story once before, playing Doc Holliday in Tombstone. He earlier played the title character in the TV movie Billy the Kid, so he is definitely not a newcomer to Western.
The storyline will be about a journalist interviewing a senior citizen Earp about his legendary days as a marshal in the Wild West and they’ll show the story about his rounding up a posse to find the outlaw that mistakenly killed the woman he loved.
The reporter is Daniel Booko ( iCarly sitcom, Hannah Montana) and country...

Westerns don't usually do too well but, if done right, audiences respond. In 1988 and 1990, buoyed by a cast of hot young (then) actors (including Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen) and a fantastic soundtrack, Young Guns showed that westerns could be cool. Now, with the success of True Grit and Rango, the indie The First Ride of Wyatt Earp is trying out that Young Guns playbook. The story will be about a reporter interviewing a senior citizen Earp about his legendary days as a marshal in the Wild West and they'll show the story about his rounding up a posse to find the outlaw that unintentionally killed the woman he loved.
Val Kilmer will play the elderly Earp; he played Doc Holliday in Tombstone and the title character in the TV movie Billy the Kid. The reporter is Daniel Booko (he's been on "iCarly," "Hannah Montana" and "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,...

Val Kilmer has been part of the Wyatt Earp story once before, playing Doc Holliday in Tombstone. ("I'm your huckleberry" [1] should be a line etched into the brain of any western fan.)
