Any of you yahoos down in Texas heard about this film? Found mention of it on IMDB.com and the trailer they had looked pretty good. Supposed to be based on a true story that happened in post Civil War Texas. Don't know if it's been released yet or if it went straight to DVD.

Sounds like a Toadies song about one of LBJ's man-made lakes.

The story of how 'Hell's Gate' at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas came to have it's name. Relive the story of how three outlaws expeditions and encounters through historical 1870s Texas were remembered for a lifetime.
Surrounded by whisky-fueled outlaws and a treacherous wilderness, how is one to survive? Based on real events, this Texas based tale uncovers the mystery of the events surrounding the legendary Hell's Gate, a cliff formation that rises out of Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas. When a curious errand boy catches wind of one of America's most infamous crimes, he falls in with two desperate men on the wrong side of the law. Crossing paths with some of the West's most notorious figures, these three outlaws fight for their lives in the pursuit of fame and riches. Few are to be trusted, as their interwoven stories prove that everyone has a hidden agenda, and by no means is anyone innocent. Fueled by a talented ensemble cast THE LEGEND OF HELL'S GATE blends legend and history into a Western spectacle that recounts the treacherous existence in post Civil War Texas.
Will have to wait and see, might be good and might not..... No yahoos here... :-0

No yahoos here... :-0 Maybe it'll be a great movie, but the factual or historical claims of the film promo/ legend seem a little far fetched. The Possum Kingdom Reservoir did not exist as a lake until it was completed in 1941, so that would have been a helluva climb for the protagonists from the river's original bank. Who knows? I'll probably see it at some point when I run across the DVD since it's a western. It looks action-packed.
