Regulators, mount up! Young Guns, the beloved Western series that began in 1988, is finally back after 35 years, as star Emilio Estevez officially announced yesterday that Young Guns 3: Dead or Alive will film in New Mexico. The best part? Estevez will not only be returning as Billy the Kid in front of the camera, but he’ll also be directing the latest installment, which will also feature original cast member Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christian Slater, who appeared in Young Guns 2 in 1990.
Estevez made the announcement yesterday during Film and Media Day at the State Capitol in Santa Fe along with New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. “The original Young Guns films showcased New Mexico’s stunning landscapes to the world and helped establish our state as a premier filming destination,” she said, adding:
Young Guns 3: Dead or Alive will add to this legacy, further solidifying New Mexico’s place in the national film industry.
“Many of you may have already heard. We’re starting the ball rolling on Young Guns 3,” Estevez said, adding, “I’ve heard all the jokes: Old Guns, Ancient Guns.” In addition to directing and starring, Estevez also serves as co-writer on Young Guns 3, which is expected to start shooting this fall in New Mexico. Plot details for the film remain under wraps, but it is said to introduce a new generation of Regulators to the world.
More to come…
