The movie is called “The Hero” starring Sam Elliott as an aging Western icon dealing with cancer, a fading career, lost relationship with his daughter and former wife (played by his real wife Katharine Ross, btw) and the excitement of a new love interest in some ways, the movie parallels his actual life.
“There are some obvious [different] things – the incredible amount of drug use is a bit much,” said Elliott. “[But] my wife and I are still happily married after 39 years, and I love my daughter more than anything. There are a couple of things; the cancer diagnosis – that is fictitious but other than that there are some things that I can definitely identify with.”
Brett Haley directed the film, and it’s not the first time these two have worked together – and won’t be the last. Both call this film the opportunity of a lifetime.
