SANTA FE — The New Mexico Film Office Friday announced the feature film Outlaw Land, produced by Keystone Films LLC, has begun production in New Mexico.

Filming will take place during September and October 2021 in Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

“There is no place but New Mexico to tell the old western tale of Butch Cassidy. Ranches, western sets, wild horses, vast stunning deserts with train tracks that wind with the landscape, New Mexico is and has always been the place to shoot a western,” NMFO Director Amber Dodson said.

Outlaw Land is directed by Anthony C. Ferrante (Sharknado) and produced by Daniel Lusko (Persecuted).

Outlaw Land is the story of Butch Cassidy and a wild bunch who flee from authorities after robbing a train.

The production will employ approximately 20 New Mexico crew members, 15 New Mexico principal cast members, and 150 New Mexico background and extras.

“We’re excited to make an iconic western with local New Mexicans at the helm. In addition, we are thrilled to partner with the Wheels Museum of ABQ, and NM Locomotive who are preserving some of New Mexico’s greatest treasures as we bring a memorable western movie like Butch Cassidy to life,” Producer Daniel Lusko said.
