'''''Gallowwalker''''' is a [[2009 in film|2009]] [[Weird West|horror western]] [[film]] directed by [[Andrew Goth]] and starring [[Wesley Snipes]] and [[Riley Smith]].

Shooting has been completed, and the film is currently scheduled for release in 2009.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0829176/ ''Gallowwalker''] February 2008, [[IMDB.com]]</ref>

The film attracted attention after speculation that it will be released in U.S. theatres. If so, it will be Wesley Snipes' first theatrically released film since ''[[Chaos (2006 film)|Chaos]]'' in [[2006 in film|2006]].

==Plot==
When a [[nun]] broke her covenant with [[God]] to save the life of Aman, her unborn son, he was cursed for life. As an adult, Aman (Snipes) has killed those who have crossed him. But his curse brings his victims back to life, and as the [[undead]], they pursue him endlessly for revenge. Forever suffering this curse, Aman enlists Fabulos (Smith), a young gunman, to fight by his side against his undead victims.

==Production history==
The film first came to general attention in [[2005 in film|2005]] as ''The Wretched'' with [[Chow Yun-Fat]] penciled in to star as zombie bounty hunter Rellik.<ref>[http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=19475 Chow Yun Fat as a bounty hunting zombie killer'!'!'!], [[Ain't It Cool News]], February 22, 2005</ref><ref>[http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=3185 More cast join Wesley Snipes in ''GALLOWWALKER''], ''[[Fangoria (magazine)|Fangoria]]'', November 17, 2006</ref><ref>[http://www.thefilmasylum.com/newsitem.php?subaction=showfull&id=1164033410&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2& Riley Smith joins Snipes in ''Gallowwalker''] November 20, 2006</ref> However, the film dropped off the radar until the involvement of Wesley Snipes brought it back to press attention.

The filming in [[Namibia]] coincided with [[Wesley Snipes#Tax fraud charges|Snipes' tax problems]]. The backer, Gary Smith, has ensured there was a [[completion bond]] as back-up, but Smith declared, "We are happy that he continues to turn up on set each day. If his indictment creates this amount of press it shows he is a star."<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117953118.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 Snipes settles with IRS], ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', November 1, 2006</ref>
