Ti West Recruits John Travolta And Ethan Hawke For 'In A Valley Of Violence'

Ti West (The Innkeepers, House of the Devil) is moving into new territory with his excellently-titled new western, In a Valley of Violence. The writer/director has been known for horror in the past, but he's following his cult movie The Sacrament with this project, which exists thanks to backing from producer Jason Blum and his company Blumhouse.
