Fans of CW’s superhero drama Arrow will be thrilled to see a familiar duo reunite on screen, this time in a thrilling Western adventure. Calamity Jane, a new film streaming for free on Tubi, features Emily Bett Rickards and Stephen Amell trading their superhero suits for Stetsons and six-shooters.
Rickards steps into the iconic boots of Calamity Jane, a quick-witted sharpshooter with a heart of gold. Amell portrays Wild Bill Hickok, Jane’s close friend and a legendary gunslinger in his own right. Tragedy strikes when Wild Bill is murdered by the nefarious Crooked Nose Jack, setting Jane on a vengeance-fueled quest for justice.
Directed by Terry Miles, Calamity Jane boasts a supporting cast that includes Tim Rozon, known for his role in Schitt’s Creek, and Priscilla Faia, who has graced the screens in shows like Arrow and Wynonna Earp.
The characters of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok are deeply ingrained in Western lore, having been portrayed in numerous films and television shows throughout history. Some of the most notable interpretations include Doris Day’s portrayal of a spirited Calamity in the 1953 musical film, and Robin Weigart’s gritty performance in the 2005 HBO miniseries Deadwood.
This new iteration, streaming exclusively on Tubi, promises a fresh take on these classic characters. Will Rickards embody the fierceness and wit of Calamity Jane? Can Amell transition from the stoic Green Arrow to the legendary gunslinger? These are just some of the questions that will keep viewers glued to their screens.
Calamity Jane marks a significant addition to Tubi’s growing library of original content. The film’s arrival also provides a unique opportunity for audiences to revisit these iconic characters and experience them through a modern lens.
