Director Vincent D’Onofrio The Kid has added Adam Baldwin to play Bob Orlinger in the film about infamous gunfighter Billy the Kid. He joins Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan as Billy and newcomer Jake Schur in title role of the Western told through the view of a young boy who reaches out to his outlaw hero to help save his kidnapped sister.
