Stefano Sollima qui adapte à l'écran un concept que Leone avait voulu faire à l'époque : un film suivant le parcours d'un colt qui va passer de main en main. Sachant que Sollima modifie le concept en le poussant vers le coming of age, les détenteurs du colt étant plusieurs pré-adolescents.
Interview où il explique ses intentions.
“It’s a coming-of-age story of three kids, aged 12 or 13, who as orphans come into possession of this weapon, and for a whole series of reasons become criminals. I can assure you that a 12-year-old with a Colt in his hand is pretty striking.
I want to take the Spaghetti Western genre back home.
I once told my kids, who are in their early teens, ‘I’d like to do a Western,’ and they said: ‘What is a Western?'”. Their generation doesn’t know Westerns. They haven’t seen them at the movies. I thought it would be interesting to draw them into this genre with a story that speaks to them.”
