88 years old, 85 films, 2 Oscars: One of the largest actors in American cinema can play in Yellowstone at Kevin Kostner’s place

It is hard to imagine a series as much as Yellowstone, without Kevin Costner to interpret the role of John Dutton. The actor is undoubtedly the game of ruthless patriarch. His love for the West makes him an absolute reference. Thus, he naturally established a series of shock between the modern world and the lifestyle of the village, as revealed in the series.

The alternative offered by HBO

At the same time, we are learning through the interview for Taylor Sheridan Hollywood reporter That the series could be very different. Although Kevin Costner was always the first choice of Taylor Sheridan, who led the Yellowstone, he showed that he almost chose another main star performing Patriarch Dutton: Robert Redford.

Before hosting the Paramount Network and regularly defeating the cable channel on the cable channel, Taylor Sheridan presented the concept of his series to HBO leaders. He introduced Yellowstone to Kevin Costner as his ideal choice, but they returned to him with his own ideas that John Dutton had to play. “They said, ‘We want Robert Redford’“He told Hollywood reporter.”They said, “If you see Robert Redford, we’ll order a flying”“

Like Kevin Costner, Robert Redford is another emblem figure in the West, having a current career for several decades and with iconic roles as Butch Cassid and Baby. Yellowstone would allow him to connect with the Western genre and could have been a solid end of his career for a strong Sanden man.

Absurd misunderstanding with HBO

The story does not stop here and it looked live on Saturday. Taylor Sheridan, who has proven that the ability to attract his leading talents, follows him as a good little soldier. But HBO leaders are full of surprises … he says:

“I went to Sanden, I spent the day with him And she agreed to play John Dutton. I advise Vice-President who is responsible for production and say to him, “I got it!” – Who did you have? “Robert Redford”. ‘What?!’ “You said that if you got Robert Redford, you would give the soap operas a green light.” And he says – and we can’t invent this m*rde – ‘we wanted to tell someone Robert Redford’“

Very “average America”

Tired by the tip of the nose by HBO leaders, Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, a co-creator, attended a crisis meeting with the vice president of the chain to determine why he did not want to give HBO green. They eventually thought that the West was highly focused on the average HBO programs in America, starting spring in rural life. These disturbing comments finally convinced Sheridan that he found a new home for the series, as he remembered:

“We are going to dinner in West Los Angeles and John Lynson’s place in the chic, finally asking, “Why don’t you want to do that?” And the Vice President replies: ‘Listen, it’s average America. We are HBO, we are avant -garde, we are pioneers. It feels like a step. Frankly speaking, I have to be sincere, I don’t think anyone should live there . It should be a park or something like that“

Taylor Sheridan’s revenge

Finally, Taylor Sheridan and John Lynson took revenge against HBO, transformed the Yellowstone into a real hit. It has become a franchise, which has a major series of recognized and two successful manufactured series with incredible casting, including Harrison Ford and Helen Miren in 1923. And other spinoffs are prepared.

As the last attack on the channel, Sheridan has even joined these comments in two episodes of the season, where a New York journalist dares to insult Montana with James (Wes Bentley) and pays a high price.

Beth Dutton considered very abrasion for HBO

If these comments were not for the taste of Sheridan or Lynson, it is a criticism of leaders to Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), a fans who really bothered the Creator. As it appeared in the series, Beth was one of the most difficult characters in the Yellowstone that could have a threat to insecurity. Thanks to Reilly’s mediocre interpretation, it has become a series of hearts and, thanks to his busy business sense, he is undoubtedly the best character to take the ranch.

At the same time, all the qualities that fans are appreciatedAbrasive“For the public:”“We want to soften it. Women will not like it. They tried because Beth always says loudly what the gnes are thinking. When someone is rough in a restaurant, or in the parking lot, Beth says what you want to say“

Taylor Sheridan was not going to leave Esquinter’s frames that would become one of his best characters. “So I said to them, ‘Well, did everyone finish? Who is responsible for the series you transferred? Oh, right? Thanks. ‘And I hugged. They never remembered.“

As we now know, Kevin Costner has never returned to the Yellowstone team, and also shot on his ambitious horizon films: American Saga Chapter 1.
