A new trailer has arrived ahead of the May 2 release for western flick The Timber.

It might give away a little too much for my liking, but it certainly suggests writer/director Anthony O’Brien’s opus could well be worth checking out.

Here’s the synopsis:

In the 1898 gold rush of the Wild West, two desperate brothers take a job as bounty hunters to save their home and find their father. But in The Timber, brutality and bloodshed is the law of the land and what they find along the way is much more than they bargained for. The Timber is tense tale of greed and redemption.

Josh Peck (Red Dawn) and James Ransone (Sinister, The Wire) are the brothers at the centre of this gripping Western which also stars Julian Glover (Game of Thrones, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Orphan Black, The Tudors) and William Gaunt (EastEnders, The Champions).

And here’s the trailer:
