Oscar-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Wind River) is looking to continue his exploration of the gritty, violent underbelly of the American heartland in the filmmaker’s new series. The show is set near the titular national park and will focus on the violence needed to maintain the largest contiguous ranch in the United States.
Two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Costner stars as John Dutton, the patriarch of the family who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders – land developers, an Indian reservation, and America’s first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny — where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world’s largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.
The cast also includes Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Dave Annable, Danny Huston, Gil Birmingham, Jefferson White, Gretchen Mol, Jill Hennessey, Patrick St. Esprit, Ian Bohen, and Denim Richards. The series was shot near Park City, Utah last year.
Yellowstone is executive produced by Weinstein Television, John and Art Linson (Sons of Anarchy, Fight Club, Heat) and Kevin Costner.
Die Serie ist wirklich Klasse. Eher so ne Art Neo-Western. Dank Sony AXN durfte ich schon die ersten beiden Staffeln genießen. Dort liefen btw. die HD-Fassungen. Was der Witz mit der DVD nun wieder soll... man fasst es nicht.
Mit Costner´s Abgang wurde nun auch die Serie an sich abgesetzt.
Durch Spinoffs, Sequels, Prequels, Reboots etc. wird die Kuh aber weiterhin gemolken...
“My last conversation with Kevin was that he had this passion project he wanted to direct. He and the network were arguing about when he could be done with Yellowstone. I said, ‘We can certainly work a schedule toward [his preferred exit date],’ which we did]”
Costner opted to film his scenes early on while scripts were still being written, but tensions soon rose due to Costner’s schedule. Sheridan says:
“My opinion of Kevin as an actor hasn’t altered. His creation of John Dutton is symbolic and powerful … and I’ve never had an issue with Kevin that he and I couldn’t work out on the phone.
But once lawyers get involved, then people don’t get to talk to each other and start saying things that aren’t true and attempt to shift blame based on how the press or public seem to be reacting. He took a lot of this on the chin and I don’t know that anyone deserves it.
His movie seems to be a great priority to him, and he wants to shift focus. I sure hope [the movie is] worth it – and that it’s a good one. I’m disappointed. It truncates the closure of his character. It doesn’t alter it, but it truncates it.”
Mit Costner´s Abgang wurde nun auch die Serie an sich abgesetzt.

Gut, wenn 1883 als "gemolkenes Produkt" anzusehen ist, dann bitte gerne weiter melken. Ich war nie faszinierter von einer Mini-Serie als von 1883.
... und 1923 rockt auch.
