Terence Hill, the cult star known for his iconic roles in spaghetti westerns, has announced his return to the big screen. The actor, who’s turning 84 on March 29, has promised his fans that he’s still got a few cartridges left in the colt, and is eager to make a comeback as the legendary western hero, “Nobody” (original “Trinity”).
Hill, whose mega success “My Name is Nobody” attracted more than twelve million cinema viewers back in 1975, will once again reprise his role as the western hero. The film hero, whose mother was German and father Italian, had taken a break from westerns but is now eager to return. Hill said that westerns still have something mystical for him today, and the genre is experiencing a resurgence currently.
The actor has promised that the new project won’t be too brutal, unlike current popular western series “Yellowstone,” which is too gory for Hill’s liking. Instead, the focus will be on wild jokes in the West, much like the classics that Hill made famous with his screen buddy Bud Spencer.
According to the leading actor, the new material could already be implemented starting this summer, with “Trinity the Nun and the Gun.” One of the characters set to appear in the film is the historical figure of the Italian nun Rosa Maria Segale. The Italian had become famous as an intrepid clergyman between Indians and outlaws in the USA, and her beatification was initiated years ago.
Hill is still a great admirer of director legend Sergio Leone, who had written the book for the first “Nobody-Film” and had the idea of bringing old star Henry Fonda and young Terence together into the story of the two different generations of gunslingers. Leone’s success proved him right, and the Oscar-winner from the USA and Hill remained connected until Fonda’s death in 1982.
It’s a comeback for a screen feel that’s long gone, and Hill is eager to repay his fans’ support with a new wild joke in the West. Despite his age, the actor still has the “wild west virus” in his blood and is ready for a final ride into the sunset.
