Josh Holloway, who played James “Sawyer” Ford inLost, has been cast inFlint. Published in 1960,Flintwas written by Louis L’Amour and follows a ruthless businessman, James Kettleman, who returns home and becomes involved in a violent range war. Kettleman was raised on the New Mexico frontier, but he left when he was 17, and proceeded to make his fortune in the East.

The story of Flint is one I’ve wanted to tell for years. To play this incredible role and help bring it to the screen as a producer makes this project even more special. It’ll be a new challenge, but one I am all in on.
Our Take On Josh Holloway Being Cast In Flint
He Is An Excellent Choice
Holloway’s previous experience and his enthusiasm make him a perfect fit forFlint. Kettleman sounds somewhat similar to what made Sawyer one ofLost’s best characters, as both have dark pasts and the ability to be ruthless, yet they are poised to become reluctant heroes. Holloway also has experience working on westerns, including starring inYellowstone, which makes him well-suited to returning to the genre. BetweenFlintand the upcoming television seriesDuster,it is thrilling to see Holloway landing more starring roles afterLost.
