00:02 I heard that Taylor Sheridan was writing a television series.
00:05 It was one of the best, if not the best pilot
00:08 I think I've ever read.
00:09 I was just floored by his writing.
00:11 I was already a fan of Taylor's work
00:13 from "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water."
00:15 I just wanted on it.
00:16 I was drawn to the world,
00:17 to the people and all of their complexities.
00:20 Taylor's is so brilliant in writing these things.
00:23 They're so much fun to play out.
00:24 It still harkens back to the old-school cowboy.
00:27 He does a great job of weaving between the modern-day world
00:31 of cowboying and the old-school way of it.
00:35 It was really clear how I fit in.
00:36 Yellowstone is a patriarch of this fourth-generation family
00:41 that has come to Montana and blossomed here, if you will.
00:46 The world of Yellowstone is -- it's a harsh land.
00:49 [Grunting]
00:52 Those cattle walked onto our land.
00:54 They became our cattle.
00:56 To do as we please.
00:57 Whatever happens next happens to you, too.
01:00 It's really a story about a family and family business,
01:03 and that's sort of what I grasped onto
01:05 in ebbs and flows of the relationship of family.
01:08 There's a lot going on in this series
01:10 and people fighting for a way of life
01:13 that is sort of slipping through the cracks in modern society.
01:16 A lot of what Yellowstone is about
01:18 is what the idea of the American West was
01:21 and how that has changed,
01:23 and how do we preserve that?
01:25 Is it right to preserve that?
01:27 The town grows or it dies.
01:28 Maybe it should grow.
01:30 Up. Condos, Alan.
01:32 You know, these are all conflicting ideas
01:33 that are somehow also all tied into each other.
01:36 You want to build subdivisions?
01:38 Move to Dallas. I won't have them here.
01:39 Progress doesn't need your permission.
01:41 In this valley, it does.
01:43 So he's dealing with all the modern problems.
01:45 You were right.
01:46 They're building a city.
01:48 And as the things start to push in on John Dutton,
01:51 he would like to turn it into a Western.
01:53 Everyone's forgotten who runs this valley.
01:56 It's not the way to remind them. It's a bad idea.
01:58 We don't choose the way, little brother.
02:01 It's relevant to what's going on today
02:04 as far as ranchers and politics and BLM and the water rights
02:07 and all those things.
02:08 Kind of at the forefront of the ranching community right now.
02:10 We just don't see the world the same way.
02:12 We belong to the land.
02:14 No man really owns the land.
02:15 It's all part of the same game,
02:17 is how you eliminate those people
02:19 that are in conflict with you.
02:20 It's an elevated, heightened version
02:23 of these things that actually exist.
02:24 So I think people will really be able to relate to that.
02:27 And the Dutton Ranch is a whole other world.
02:29 This is a super exciting world to be entering into.
02:32 There's something so profoundly alive
02:33 about all of these characters.
02:35 They're willing to do anything for their family
02:37 at any cost or consequence.
02:40 I think it's maybe the one thing everyone has in common.
02:42 When I spoke to Taylor the first time,
02:45 he said it's basically a Greek tragedy
02:47 in the Big Sky country.
02:48 That's this family.
02:49 It's quite a bit of drama.
02:50 The Wild West is still wild,
02:54 but not in the way it used to be.
