“Butch Cassidy” Returns to the Big Screen

Last time anyone saw Butch Cassidy (the late, great Paul Newman) he and his partner were heading into a hail of bullets courtesy of the Bolivian Army. Apparently they were all aiming at Robert Redford’s Sundance Kid. According to “The Independent” the upcoming film, “Blackthorn” will follow a much older Cassidy, this time played by Sam Shepherd as he plots one last caper to get him out of Bolivia and back to the United States. And for those fans who say the last time they saw Butch on screen was in the guise of Tom Berenger, remember, that was a prequel.
