Monte Hellman To Direct 'Desperadoes'

Desperadoes
Monte Hellman is set to direct the adaptation of Ron Hansen's novel Desperadoes, says Variety.

The story follows the exploits of the Dalton gang and the beautiful Eugenia Moore, who fell in love with Bob Dalton and helped the brothers rob trains, either directly or by distracting the local marshal.

The project is slated to begin shooting this fall in Alberta. Casting has not been set.
