Where was Gunslingers filmed? All filming locations explored
Gunslingers is the latest film by Brian Skiba, who not only wrote and directed the film but also produced it with Randall Batinkoff, Laurie Love, and Scott Reed. The movie was released in limited theaters across the United States and on video on demand on April 11, 2025.
Set in a town known for its violent residents, mostly outlaws and wanted men, the story follows Thomas Keller, who is wanted for the murder of Jess Rockefeller in New York State. The bounty on his head makes him a target of frequent attacks, leading to brutal conflicts, violence, and lightning-fast gunslinging.
Gunslingers was shot in Kentucky to capture the authentic landscape of the Wild West. The cast includes Nicolas Cage, Stephen Dorff, Heather Graham, Scarlet Rose Stallone, Randall Batinkoff, Tzi Ma, and Costas Mandylor in prominent roles.
Gunslingers was filmed in Kentucky
As mentioned above, Gunslingers was shot across multiple counties in Kentucky to capture the real essence of the Western landscape. Filming on real locations elevated the storytelling by providing an authenticity to the film. Below are the primary locations where the film was shot:
Cave City, Kentucky
The picturesque small town in the southern part of the state, near Mammoth Cave National Park, offered the rustic landscape the story needed. With its historic buildings and welcoming community, the location is close to one of the world’s most famous cave systems. It has plenty of natural beauty to be captured by a camera.
Barren County, Kentucky
Barren County is known for its vast landscapes. Interestingly, unlike its name, the county has vast farmlands with plenty of cattle and meandering roads. It is the agricultural heart of the state, with beautiful people, periodic aesthetics, and natural beauty.
Hart County, Kentucky
Hart County, located in the south central part of Kentucky, is known for its greenery, perfect for a Western film. The landscape and architecture of the area provide a nostalgic element for a bygone era, which the production crew tried to capture for the film.
Edmonson County, Kentucky
This county is also located in the south-central part of the state, with a landscape similar to Hart County. However, the rural area has more untouched landscapes, providing a scenic beauty as well as a rustic landscape for a dramatic story. It is a perfect place to show the harsh living conditions of that era, where the lack of resources became the main point of violent conflicts.
