Los Angeles, CA – Chasing Butterflies Pictures has set a theatrical release for JUSTICE as Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will debut the film on Digital as well as On Demand on the same date. The all-new Western drama stars multiple-award winning Stephen Lang (Avatar, Don’t Breathe), Robert Carradine (Django Unchained, Revenge of the Nerds), Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos, Entourage), Jackson Rathbone (Twilight), Nathan Parsons (True Blood), and Academy-Award® nominee Quinton Aaron (The Blind Side).

It’s 1870 and the Civil War has been over for three years. An old, abandoned mine is now being transformed into a military stronghold by a corrupt mayor (Stephen Lang) and his band of outlaws led by the bloodthirsty thug Reb (John Lewis) hell-bent on reigniting the war. When a U.S. Marshal (Nathan Parsons) comes to town only to learn from the local teacher (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) that his brother, the town priest (Jackson Rathbone), has been murdered, his search for the killer leads to an inevitable clash that becomes a life or death struggle for a much greater cause.
WATCH THE TRAILER:
Directed by Richard Gabai and produced by A.J. Perez, Niko Foster and John Lewis, based on a story by Shawn Justice, JUSTICE is packed with action and embodies the timeless battle between good and evil, and the moral struggle between selfishness and selflessness, in an often unforgiving, lawless world.
Producer A.J. Perez says: “The hardest part was getting the story right so it made for a lot of long days with our writers. The amazing work from our dynamic duo, Richard Gabai and Scott Peck (Director and DP), our incredibly talented cast and a dedicated production crew made my dreams come true and we made something really special…”
Actor Nathan Parsons echoes the sentiment: "Growing up in Texas, the mythos surrounding cowboys and the old west permeated my childhood, so working on Justice truly was a dream come true."
Director Richard Gabai says: “As a fan of Classic Westerns from Howard Hawks and John Ford, I wanted to incorporate the elements we love about those films, but with a modern edge, and though our story is set in 1870, the themes are as relevant today as they were back then. Our brilliant and dedicated cast, crew, and stunt team were a joy to work with, the magnificent locations a dream to shoot."
Actor Stephen Lang, who plays Mayor Pierce, says: "I love a good Western, always have. The creative team who have brought JUSTICE to the screen…have done true justice to the genre. I am honored to be a part of this film, and I hope and trust it will find favor among all who love a good ‘oater’ as much as I do."
JUSTICE is a Chasing Butterflies Pictures and Splash House Pictures / Check Entertainment Production. With Universal Pictures Home Entertainment distributing on Blu-ray™, DVD, Digital HD, and On Demand. JUSTICE is out now in major theatrical markets and VOD.
