Don’t forget to catch Ryan Phillippe will host SNL for the first time April 17 w/ music by Ke$ha!Ryan

In the ’50s and ’60s, TV westerns often dominated the primetime schedules, but by the early ’70s, they all seemed go by the wayside. Attempts to revive them haven’t been met with much success, save for the Maverick feature film starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner.

Now The Big Valley, the western series that launched the careers of Linda Evans and Lee Majors, is going to take a stab at a remake, with Susan Sarandon, Ryan Phillipe, Richard Drefuss, and Bruce Dern in key roles.

Talking to MTV News, “I think I’m doing a Western in May, with Susan Sarandon, Billy Bob Thornton, Richard Dreyfuss [and] Bruce Dern. It’s called ‘The Big Valley,’ which was a [television] series in the ’60s, and so it’s sort of based on that.”

Of the director, Daniel Adams, Phillippe said, “He’s a young guy and this is his first film, so you wouldn’t know him yet.”
