London
(ANI):
Butch
Cassidy
is
set
to
hit
the
screens
again
in
a
sequel,
entitled
Blackthorn,
but
without
his
partner
The
Sundance
Kid.
American
actor
Sam
Shepard
will
star
as
Robert
LeRoy
Parker,
who
led
the
Hole
in
the
Wall
Gang
on
which
the
1969
Butch
Cassidy
film
was
loosely
based.
Spanish
director
Mateo
Gil
will
helm
the
project,
the
filming
for
which
will
kick
start
in
Bolivia
next
month,
The
Telegraph
reported.
The
sequel
apparently
tells
the
story
of
Cassidy
in
his
twilight
years
trying
to
commit
one
last
robbery.
Paul
Newman
portrayed
Butch
Cassidy
in
the
1969
original
that
went
on
to
bag
four
Oscars.
