Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra's
ambitious
project
Broken
Horses
is
all
set
to
go
on
floors
soon.
A
huge
set
is
being
put
up
in
a
desert
town
bordering
Mexico
and
the
US.
Broken
Horses
is
an
English
film
and
will
have
a
western
cast
and
crew.
Shooting
of
the
film
is
expected
to
start
from
September
13.
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
has
also
managed
to
rope
in
Hollywood
biggie
Barrie
Osborne
as
the
executive
producer.
Osborne
has
been
associated
with
some
really
huge
Hollywood
blockbusters
such
as
Face
Off,
The
Matrix,
Apocalypse
Now
and
The
Lord
Of
The
Rings
series
of
films.
Osborne,
who
has
been
living
in
New
Zealand
for
the
last
10
years,
has
only
recently
moved
back
to
LA
for
Chopra's
new
film.
The
duo
has
also
set
up
a
production
office
on
The
Lot,
which
earlier
housed
the
Warner
Hollywood
Studios
Besides
Osborne,
Fred
Roos
has
also
been
brought
on
board
as
executive
producer
to
put
the
project
and
cast
together.
Roos
has
been
the
producer
of
cult
films
such
as
The
Godfather
Part
II
and
III,
The
Outsiders
and
Lost
In
Translation.
He
has
worked
with
Osborne
on
Apocalypse
Now
as
well.
Says
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
of
this
association,
"Barrie
helps
us
get
the
scale
of
the
film
right.
As
for
Fred,
I
met
him
a
few
years
ago
as
a
student
on
the
sets
of
The
Godfather.
He
was
an
inspiration
then
and
is
an
inspiration
even
now."
