Directed by Joe Cornet (A Prayer For The Damned) and written by Craig Hamann (Boogie Boy), the new film Taken From Rio Bravo is a direct sequel to Gunfight At Rio Bravo. An international co-production in between ETA Films, San Rafael Production and Hollywood Storm companies, Taken From Rio Bravo was produced by Alexander Nevsky (Black Rose) and executive produced by Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart), composer Sean Murray (White Elephant), stunt coordinator Art Camacho (Half Past Dead, Half Past Dead 2) and Douglas “Fini” Finical.

Per the premise of Taken From Rio Bravo: "1874, East Texas. Two friends pursue the Posse, a group of sadistic human traffickers who have kidnapped five women. Along with an Indian scout they race against time to find and free the women before the traffickers sell them to sex-slave buyers at the Mexican border."

Taken From Rio Bravo stars Alexander Nevsky, Matthias Hues (Terror On The Prairie), Irina Antonenko (Gasoline Alley), Tatiana Neva (Into The Silent Sea), Don “The Dragon” Wilson (Night Hunter), Kerry Goodwin (Promise), James Chalke (Dead Trigger), Cynthia Rothrock (Showdown In Manila), John Fallon (Saw II) and director/EP Joe Cornet. Its Director Of Photography is Sam Wilkerson (Gunfight At Rio Bravo).

In August 2024, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alexander Nevsky, Tatiana Neva and Joe Cornet via Zoom, as embedded above and set to air via the Long Beach, New York-based Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz television series. Beyond Taken From Rio Bravo, we discussed future projects for the three, Neva's singing background, Russia's history with Western films, Cornet's book, and Nevsky's past as Mr. Universe. My 2023 Paltrocast interview with Nevsky is embedded below.
