Paul Bettany’s Forgotten 2011 Monster Movie Secretly Remade John Wayne’s Best Western

A forgotten Paul Bettany vampire movie is a stealth remake of John Wayne’s most iconic Western. Wayne became a movie star thanks to his turn in 1939’s Stagecoach, and even though the film featured an ensemble cast, his performance stole the show. While he featured in everything from romantic dramas to war movies, he was also permanently typecast as a cowboy. John Wayne starred in 80 Westerns throughout his 50-year career, with some of the most notable being Red River, Rio Bravo and True Grit.
