Edington pushes you to the covvi-19 pandemic anxiety, as the film becomes a small town in New Mexico in May 2020. The confrontation between the sheriff and the mayor powderes the population against each other.

Kovid’s experience was one of the greatest outrageous of Pedro Pascal, which depicts Mary Ted Garcia. “It was very difficult for me to return it, but I knew I had to get the experience of making this movie “He saved us. Even if Ari Aster claimed that he did not represent his character in a two -dimensional way, Pedro Pascal applied his role without excessive preparation:

“I had an insult, I wondered if he was going to hurt this kind of anxiety. And I thought it would be worth it for these actors and this director.

On the side of Michael Ward and Luke Grims, the experience was more fun to mention the situation. Yellowstone’s actor remembers: “I remember the kit was so good that I forgot the situation. Suddenly, we saw the corner of the toilet paper in the corner and we said to ourselves, “Ah, yes, I forgot this strange side of Kovidi, where everyone made toilet paper reserves without any problems”.
