Eight years after impressing critics with "Pollock," his feature debut behind the camera, actor Ed Harris returns to the director's chair with the Old West drama "Appaloosa." Adapted from Robert Parker's 2005 novel, the $20 million film stars Mr. Harris as Virgil Cole, a laconic lawman who -- along with partner Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) -- is hired to bring a corrupt rancher (played by Jeremy Irons) to justice. Mr. Harris, star of such films as "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "A History of Violence," recently spoke with The Wall Street Journal.
