The Ploughmen: Ed Harris to Direct Neo-Noir Movie With Bill Murray, Nick Nolte

Nick Nolte, Bill Murray, and Owen Teague have been tapped to star in The Ploughmen, a new neo-noir movie that is being directed by Ed Harris.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Nolte (Warrior), Murray (Ghostbusters), and Teague (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) will join Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams) and Lily Harris in The Ploughmen, which is based on Kim Zupan’s 2014 novel of the same name.

What is The Ploughmen about?

“John Gload (Nolte) is a killer so adept at his job that only now has he been apprehended,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Val Millimaki (Teague) is low man in the Copper County Sheriff department. As Val continues his unlucky streak of finding dead bodies, Sheriff (Murray) puts him on night duty to try and get Gload to reveal his past. Val finds much in common with his prisoner, and dangerously seeks counsel from him.”

The Ploughmen is expected to begin filming in Montana this fall.  Concourse Media and CAA Media Finance are handling the movie’s sales out of the Cannes Film Market.

Harris, Ginger Sledge, and Robert Knott will produce The Ploughmen alongside Claude Dal Farra and Brian Keady of BCDF Pictures.

Harris has directed two feature films thus far; 2000’s Pollock and 2008’s Appaloosa. He also starred in both Pollock and Appaloosa but it’s currently unclear if he’ll also have an acting role in The Ploughmen.

Harris recently had a significant role in 2024’s Love Lies Bleeding, which was directed by Rose Glass and also co-starred Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian. He’ll soon be seen in My Dead Friend Zoe, which premiered at the South by Southwest festival in March and co-stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, and Morgan Freeman.

A release date for The Ploughmen has not yet been set.
