Viggo Mortensen is a legendary actor, from his Oscar-nominated turns in Eastern Promises, Captain Fantastic, and Green Book to his iconic role as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, some may not realize that Mortensen is just as talented behind the camera as he is in front of it.
Mortensen’s sophomore feature as a director, The Dead Don’t Hurt, debuted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews. While Mortensen did get to promote The Dead Don’t Hurt at the premiere despite the then-ongoing strikes thanks to a SAG waiver, he’s getting more of a chance to talk about his feminist Western now as we near its U.S. release.
We at FandomWire got the opportunity to discuss The Dead Don’t Hurt with the one and only Viggo Mortensen, talking about its fusion of the genre’s grammar with a unique vision.

Tucked in the back corner booth of a nice restaurant up in the mountains of Park City, Matthias Schoenaerts and Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre recount their days in Nevada filming The Mustang, a top-notch prison drama premiering at Sundance and due to hit theaters in March. Words like “chaotic” are tossed around, but the duo qualifies the chaos. What can you expect when your co-lead is horse? The Film Stage sat down with the two to talk through it all.
The Film Stage: In preparing for this interview, one of my main takeaways from the film was that even though it’s such intense subject matter being dealt with, the movie is so calm. The pace of it and the style of the trust that comes through; the two of you working together. And of course the lead performance. How do you get to that place? Where it’s so calm and confident?...

Here is our first look at The Lone Ranger's horse Silver in action, thanks to Cbm. The video shows stunts that will be used in the film, so beware.
Here is some background on Silver:
The Lone Ranger saves Silver's life from an enraged buffalo and, in gratitude, Silver chooses to give up his wild life to carry him.
In another episode, however, the Lone Ranger, in a surge of conscience, releases Silver back to the wild. The episode ends with Silver returning, bringing along a companion who becomes Tonto's horse, Scout.
Whenever the Lone Ranger mounts Silver, he shouts, "Hi-yo, Silver! Away!" Besides sounding dramatic, this shout originally served to tell the radio audience that a riding sequence was about to start. In an echo of the Lone Ranger's line, Tonto frequently says, "Git-um up, Scout!" - Wikipedia
