"You can't imagine how stupid the whole world has grown nowadays. The things these scribblers write!"
—Nikolai Gogol, 'Dead Souls.'

"My 'last movie' is a Western version of Nicolai Gogol's Dead Souls. This is a great book, full of irony, mystery and meaning... In some ways my last movie is a classic European or 'Spaghetti' Western. But it's other things too. It's a celebration of the tenacity of its protagonist, of Gogol's novel, and of the fantastic landscapes of Tucson and Tabernas... As with some of my other films, there is both humour and politics. Plus weirdness."
—Writer/Director Alex Cox

The script will be published by Oldcastle later this year—in the form of a flip-book. Look at it from one side, it's the screenplay; Turn it over, and it's the original Dead Souls, in translation. The cover art is by Associate Producer Jamie Jamieson.
