The Creed of Violence Movie in the Works with Ed Zwick

The Creed of Violence is hitting the dusty trail once again, with a new feature adaptation of the 2009 Boston Teran novel in the works.

The Last Samurai and Blood Diamond filmmaker Ed Zwick will direct, and will also write and produce with creative partner Marshall Herskovitz for High Top Productions, the banner owned by Creed of Violence publisher High Top Publishing.

The novel is a revisionist Western set amid the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution. Per High Top, it follows “the unlikely partnership between a ruthless assassin and a young government agent — who share a hidden past — as they navigate a violent, treacherous landscape that mirrors the brutalities of empire and corruption.”
