Ed Harris is on his way back to New Mexico.

The Academy Award nominated actor will star in “Frontera.”

Harris was recently filming “Sweetwater” in Santa Fe and starred in “Game Change,” which was also filmed in New Mexico.

“Frontera” will start production in early November and shoot through early December. It is a story about a Sheriff’s wife killed in a robbery by a Mexican man that has illegally crossed into the United States.

The production will employ at least 95 New Mexico crew members and 40 principal talent from New Mexico.

Directed by Michael Berry and produced by Mike Witherill, Eric Williams and Juan Luis Moulinett III.

“We are pleased to bring our project to the state of New Mexico. It is a great location for this film,” Williams said.

The movie also stars Michael Pena, Eva Longoria and Amy Madigan.

One of Renee Zellweger’s more impressive turns in recent times, if that scoreboard at Rotten Tomatoes is anything to go by, was in the Ed Harris directed/starring “Appaloosa”.
As such, Zellweger’s lassoed Harris into her latest production – seemingly seeing him as some sort of lucky horseshoe.
Either because she considers him the cinematic equivalent of a necky garlic clove or she simply enjoys working with the man, Zellweger has recruited Harris to join her and Johnny Knoxville in ” 4 1/2 Minutes”, the New York-lensed comedy the “Chicago” actress will make her directorial debut on shortly, Moviehole can confirm.
The film stars Knoxville as a stand up comedian, Jimmy, who after ruining his career, having a big bust up with his junkyard-owning father (Harris), having his ex press charges against him, and losing his apartment, heads to LA for a head start. An appearance on The Tonight Show is just what Jimmy needs to get his career going again, and it happens for him, but meantime he’s also got to survive. Enter PJ (Zellweger) a single mother Jimmy once had an affair with who is now looking for someone to mind her genius son. Needless to say, the rejuvenated Jimmy grows closer to the boy as he settles into his new part-time gig as a comically-gifted carer.
The Anthony Tambakis written flick is now in pre-production, with Zellweger (also a provider on the project), currently filling the rest of the roles.
