Goldberg plays real-life Old West mail carrier Stagecoach Mary in the Mario Van Peebles-directed Western.
The Big Picture Whoopi Goldberg trades the comfortable confines of The View for the dusty trails of the Wild West in the first image from Outlaw Posse. Mario Van Peebles wrote, directed, and stars in the upcoming Western from the Highland Film Group. Variety has the first look at the film, which is currently being shopped to distributors.
Set in the still-untamed Wild West of 1908, Outlaw Posse focuses on cowboy Chief , who assembles a posse of misfits and outcasts to reclaim a hoard of stolen gold. Along the way, they run afoul of vengeful lawman Angel and ally themselves with fearless mail carrier Stagecoach Mary . The film will also star Edward James Olmos , Cedric the Entertainer , John Carroll Lynch , D.C. Young Fly , Jake Manley , Mandela Van Peebles , Amber Reign Smith , William McDonough, and Neal McDonough .
Who Was Stagecoach Mary? Born into slavery in Tennessee, Mary Fields was emancipated following the Civil War and worked as a chambermaid, a tavern owner, and as a labor forewoman at a convent, where she performed many tasks that were considered "men's work" at the time. She wrote her name in the history of the Old West at the age of 60 when she became a mail carrier, delivering mail via stagecoach across the treacherous badlands of Montana.
Outlaw Posse is currently being shopped to distributors. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch Collider's interview with Whoopi Goldberg below, where she talks about her now-realized-dream of starring in a Western.
