Really hope 'Empire of the Summer Moon' will be his magnum opus.
Is this a real thing? Is it in work or a pipe dream? Because I'd be all over that.

On lioness, I liked season 1.

Season 2 tough to get into. Watched two episodes, may not make three
. I think it's even better than Season 1. But each their own.


I'll give it another shot

He acquired the rights earlier this year. I have no issue with him taking his time with it. Such a great book.

I honestly don't know how you could actually portray the more gruesome and barbaric accounts of the Comanche in that book. i.e. stringing up a 10-11 month old baby to the back of a horse and running it back and forth through a briar patch as the Comanche hoot and hollar and the captive mother looks on in horror.

Sicario 3, please.
I rewatched the first one this weekend, it just doesn't get old to me. The border crossing/shootout scene is an all-timer to me, it's incredible.

Sicario 2 reminded me too much of Sheridan's other work when he starts out on a high point and then there's diminishing returns. Though if he writes another I'd still go see it on opening weekend. When he sticks with original material it's hard for him to be beaten IMO. Sicario, Wind River, Hell or High Water are all great. Those Who Wish Me Dead was fine for a straight to streaming movie during the pandemic. Without Remorse is the only one I didn't care for but it's also not original material for him, it's from Tom Clancy.
I am rare in that I love both Sicario movies, almost equally. Maybe with the slight lead going to Sicario 1...the cinematography is damn near perfection. I watch each one probably at least 3-4 times a year. Although, not the biggest fan of trying to turn this kid into a hardened cholo/banger. At least give him a Marbach Mop Top aka "Edgar" haircut lol.

And torturing captives, including a 6 year old in full (distant) view of their families.

I wonder if any studio would even allow the truth about the Comanches to be broadcast. That's outside the allowable content by the PC police.

I'm not sure a normal human being could watch an entire movie of the truth about the Comanches - would have to have a sadist streak to watch that kind of thing. Reading is one thing, watching is another.

Would this be a movie or a series? God I hope it would be a series. That's just to much stuff to cover for a single movie. You got the Spanish, Fort Parker massacre, Coffee "Jack" Hays and the Texas Rangers, Sully rescuing Cynthia Ann Parker, then the Civil War years, the rise of Quanah Parker, then Mackenzie and the US Army, and the fall of the Comanche, and then Quanah's death.

That covers many decades. Surely that is at least 3 or 4 seasons?

He's basically telling the same mob/gangster story with a different setting. Didn't he do Sons of Anarchy? Yellowstone is basically SOA but on horses instead of Harleys.

What would the next setting be?

He was in SoA, but he didn't write it. That was a Kurt Sutter mess.

Great write-up from Trung Phan about Sheridan and his writing process and motivations.

Interesting bit from that story which I think shows how out-of-touch the coastal elites are with the rest of the country:

Quote:

Having finally found critical and commercial success in film, Sheridan's next project would be his biggest yet. In fact, it would be one of the biggest TV shows in recent memory: Yellowstone.

Sheridan had started working on the project in 2013. His original vision was for a film pitched as "The Godfather in Montana". HBO passed on the idea with one exec remarking that it felt "too Middle America" (after Yellowstone went nuclear, the exec that passed on the show tried to pitch Sheridan a different project but Sheridan told him to kick rocks).

Wishful thinking probably. But would love to see him do a mini series or a movie on the Alamo. Previous attempts left a lot to be desired.

Yeah. And it could star Billy Bob Thornton.

You mean Alec Baldwin portraying a Texas revolutionary hero didn't do it for you?

I didn't realize James Dean was at the Alamo.

Sheridan looks jacked for his age in that first episode of Lioness season 2.

100% he's got to be on Testosterone therapy. So easy today to get prescription testosterone injections.

Well worth a couple of hours if you want some perspective on his life and how he got to where he is - Joe Rogan #2083.
He is now part of the ownership group of the Four Sixes.
If you can't understand why people love Rip, don't know what to tell you. He's not begging some of these name actors to be in his series.

Hes on more than testosterone. He has to be on some type of gear. Judging from the traps/shoulders and vascularity.
