The novel is a revisionist Western set amid the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution.

The book has garnered Hollywood attention before, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale at various points attached to star, while Daniel Craig and director Todd Field also previously had a version of their own in development.

"With echoes of my favorite classic movies, what could have been a familiar tale of vengeance, obligation and the ties that bind becomes utterly fresh with the book's unique sensibility, unapologetic violence, and the encounter of the two most unforgettable characters ever to share a truck full of explosives headed into the teeth of a revolution," said Zwick.
