Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.

Val Kilmer is getting back in the saddle to play an ageing Wyatt Earp in director Mike Feifer's new movie THE FIRST RIDE OF Wyatt Earp.

Kilmer played the cowboy legend's sidekick Doc Holliday in 1993's Tombstone and now he's playing the Wild West hero looking back on his life in the new film.

The storyline will be about a journalist interviewing a senior citizen Earp about his legendary days as a marshal in the Wild West and they’ll show the story about his rounding up a posse to find the outlaw that mistakenly killed the woman he loved.

Former American Idol favourite Diana DeGarmo will play the young Earp's love interest, while newcomer Wilson Bethel will play Doc Holliday, according to Variety.

Tombstone used to be a movie my dad and I would watch every now and then.. was one of the western's I could watch that didn't date back to the 70's and beyond.

Doc Holliday was a character we would always imitate. Kilmer was great.
