Potsy Ponciroli: This film was really created out of the location. We were scouting for another project on a piece of property in Watertown Tennessee, which is about forty-five minutes outside of Nashville. And once you cross that forty-minute threshold, the landscape completely changes.
Plot. Widower Henry McCarty and his son Wyatt live on a farm in Oklahoma Territory in 1906 near Henry's brother-in-law Al. After Henry and Wyatt find a lost horse with blood on the saddle, Henry locates its owner, a near-dead man named Curry. Next to Curry is a pistol and a satchel full of money.
“Old Henry” owes most of this grandeur to its set: the Tennessee countryside. Both Ponciroli and producer Shannon Houchins are Tennesseans and worked hard to make sure the movie was shot in their home state. “It would not have been the same movie,” Houchins said, referring to other potential filming locations.
There is a superb reveal which I won't spoil. And the film was superbly acted, directed, and photographed. Acting by versitile and character actor / director Tim Blake Nelson was amazing. Overall, "Older Henry" is a small but superb and bloody little western that reminded me of "Unforgiven".
Kimmel Entertainment and Double Nickel Entertainment financed and co-produced the film; producers are Sidney Kimmel, Kahn and Adam Richman. Focus Features obtained worldwide distribution rights. Principal photography on the film began in September 2015 in and around New York City, and concluded in November.
What was Glenn doing to Christina in The Book of Henry?
The nature of Christina's abuse is never explicitly stated or shown, but it's obvious in context that Glen's sexually abusing his stepdaughter. From Henry's window, we see Christina in her room late at night, then turning toward the door when Glen (albeit an unseen Glen) enters the room.
Henry VIII's body rests in a vault under the Quire in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle near his third wife, Jane Seymour. Intriguingly, the sarcophagus that was originally intended to form part of Henry's final resting place was eventually used for the tomb of Lord Nelson in St Paul's Cathedral.
Returning to the house, Henry is about to bandage up the injured Curry when he spots a brand on Curry's arm. Curry shoots Henry in the stomach, admitting that he was a lawman but was corrupt and allied with Ketchum.
Shrewdly, before we actually meet Henry McCarthy, writer & director Ponciroli introduces the villains. Sheriff Ketchum (Stephen Dorff of "Blade") and his deputies are tracking down thieves who made off with a substantial amount of paper money.

Fearing Sam would die if he went untreated, Henry betrayed Michael and revealed his hiding place to FEDRA in return for a rare drug to help Sam. The drug worked but FEDRA captured Michael and executed him.
William Bonney, alias Billy the Kid, has a firm place in American history. Legend has it that before he turned 21, he had killed 21 people - the byproduct of being a major player in a turbulent battle between competing cattle empires in southeast New Mexico Territory.
The rifle Tim Nelson uses in the final showdown is a Winchester Model '94, which is not inaccurate in 1906, but the version used in the movie is an Angle Eject Carbine version introduced in 1982.
He escaped jail on April 28, however, killing two deputies, and remained at large until tracked down and ambushed by Garrett, who shot him dead on the evening of July 14 at the ranch home of Pete Maxwell. Billy the Kid's grave is in Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
