MUMBAI: Vidhu Vinod Chopra has roped in Academy Award winner Barrie Osborne as the executive producer for his ambitious Hollywood project, Broken Horses.
The 66-year-old executive producer had been living in New Zealand for the last 10 years through the duration of ‘‘The Lord Of The Rings‘‘ trilogy.

He has only recently moved back to Los Angeles for Chopra’s film and has jointly set up a production office that earlier housed the Warner Hollywood Studios.

Osborne has worked on Hollywood films like The Matrix, Apocalypse Now, Face/Off, and won the Best Picture Academy Award for The Lord of the Rings The Return Of The King.

Broken Horses will have a western cast and crew and will start shooting from 13 September. Besides Osborne, Hollywood veteran Fred Roos has also been brought on board as executive producer to put the project and cast together.
