“Shut your mouth and pull the trigger!” Saban Films has revealed the official trailer for a cowboy bandits western thriller titled The Outlaws, an indie film directed by Joey Palmroos & Austen Paul. Though not to be confused with the British series The Outlaws or the Korean action film The Outlaws, this was originally titled 5 Outlaws until the name was changed to this vastly more generic, easily forgettable title. (They need to stop doing this.) A group of outlaws wake up to their loot bag from their train heist being empty. Each cowboy, hand tight to the bag, hanging on in the middle of the camp starts to interrogate each other on who among them stole the loot. With no witnesses, just the rugged nature, the wild west. Each outlaw now needs to try to convince the others, clear their name, and not get shot in the process, trying to find out who the real thief is. Starring Arthur Sylense, Dallas Hart, Jonathan Peacy, Liam James Collins, with Eric Roberts. This is a cool concept, just hope the film is any good. Eric Roberts looks like the best part about it.

Here’s the official trailer (+ two posters) for Austen Paul’s film The Outlaws, direct from YouTube:

A group of outlaws awaken to find their hard-earned bag of loot from a daring train heist is now empty. A high-stakes interrogation begins as each cowboy becomes the focus in an attempt to unmask the thief among them. With no witnesses and only unforgiving wilderness around, tension mounts as each bandit struggles to clear their name before bullets fly. The Outlaws, formerly known as 5 Outlaws or 5 Outlaws and a Saddlebag, is directed by indie filmmaker Austen Paul (aka Austen Paul Schumacher), making his feature directorial debut after directing the series “The Celtic Ride” previously. It’s also co-directed by Joey Palmroos. The screenplay is written by Anders Holmes, Joey Palmroos, and Austen Paul. Produced by Aleksi Hyvärinen and Joey Palmroos. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Saban Films will debut The Outlaws direct-to-VOD starting on July 12th, 2024 this summer. Anyone interested?
