Getty Images has a unique and poignant backstory. The western was written by Rifkin’s mother, Michele Rifkin, 37 years ago, and was intended to star the late Bill Paxton in the role of Dooley opposite McDowell. Frequent McDowell collaborator, Lindsay Anderson, was set to direct. Sadly, Anderson passed away before production was to begin.
Rifkin tells Deadline, “I say with utter confidence this is one of the most powerful performances Malcolm McDowell has given in his storied career. And James Paxton is a revelation.” McDowell adds, “Peachtree is one of the most fun and satisfying characters I’ve ever played. Plus, the theme that we’re never too old or too young to change, is universal. The story is sweet, funny and heartfelt. I’ve waited 60 years to do a western so I’m thrilled my first one gets to be Paxton says “Excited to be working with a master like Malcolm McDowell, we’re having a blast. I’ve also been a longtime fan of Adam Rifkin’s and am over the moon to be working with him as well.
