Lord of the Railroads

Ok so for an alternate universe of Lord of the Rings, we have Lord of the Railroads. It is a western take on LOTR set in roughly 1880's. The main character would be a young general store clerk and well rounded nice guy named "Fred Oscar" but people call him Fred O. for short. This young man is a well liked man in his small town community of Shirefields, Oklahoma. His parents were even one of the first people to settle on this land way back like 20 years ago in the 1860's. However, due to very unforeseen circumstances, Fred O's parents mysteriously pass away and Fred O is left with an inheritance of stocks in a railroad company. When Fred O first finds out about these stocks he is very skeptical as his parents were not the type to invest in any big corporate railroad conglomerates. With his curiosity peaked, Fred O decides to attend a stockholders meeting for this railroad conglomerate all the way out in Chicago. He walks up to the corporate building which is a huge skyscraper of a building, of course skyscrapers at this time period are only like three stories tall however. It is here at this meeting though that our fateful hero Fred O learns about the railroad corporation's big plan to buy up all the land around Fred O's town and make a super railroad track that plows right throuhg it. Fred O is shocked to say the least and decides to talk to the head of the railraod company, a man named Samuel R. Omahn, but known to his underlings as S.R. Oman. This man looks pretty much exactly like Snidley Whiplash from Dudley Do Right (Pic Related).

Needless to say when S.R. Omahn hears Fred O's plea to not run a railroad though his town, S.R. Omahn pays no attention to him and shews him away. Fred O hurries back to his small town and calls a town meeting to tell his neighbors of this oncoming monstrosity. The town goes into full panic and tries to come up with a way to deter the railroad company. The town mayor, Grant Dolph, who is an old and wise mayor of the town, with a long white beard and a pointy hat, decides that it should be up to Fred O to talk to go on a quest to talk to the other share holders of the railroad company and convince them to not run a railroad through their town. If Fred O can turn enough of the share holders against S.R. Omahn then they can stop the production of the railroad all together. Mean while the other townsfolk will do every thing in their power to hinder constrution of the railroad. In one scene Grant Dolph will even blow up a bridge that the railroad is being built on whil shouting "You Shall Not Cross!" (I can't be exactly like LOTR and say pass, that would just be too cheesy).  That scene would definately be in the teaser trailer as well.
Personally, i feel this movie would be just as big a hit, if not bigger, than Lord of the Rings. Like who doesn't love a good western? Just look at Django Unchained, and True Grit. I would definately cast like Clint Eastwood as Mayor Grant Dolph, and probably Jeff Bridges as Samuel R. Omahn. COMING OUT THIS SUMMER!
