1993’s Tombstone is considered to be one of the best Westerns of all time, and Kurt Russell is one of the big reasons for that. The late Val Kilmer even once said that the Wyatt Earp actor was “solely responsible for Tombstone’s success.” And yet, even with the movie having such an enduring legacy more than 30 years later, Russell’s strong take on what was ultimately delivered to the big screen has me wondering why we’ve never gotten that original version of Tombstone.
