Fifteen years after playing hunter Llewelyn Moss in No Country for Old Men, big Josh Brolin turns to the neo-west from a quite different perspective. in the long-awaited series ‘Outer Range’ (Prime Video, Friday, the 15th), the rancher character that he produced is not confronted with ordinary or expected places like a missing bride, an acre of land being taken from me, or an unexpected corpse. . After a mysterious backpacker (Imogen Pastry) decides to set up camp on his family’s land, Royal Abbott is also dealing with a great void, a real void: a mysteriously drilled hole at the edge of the Wyoming wilderness..
“People who watch the show are so overreacting to it,” Brolin tells us at a virtual festivity. “What is that hole? Where does it lead? And does it always end up in the same place? It’s an image full of symbolism: the United States or generally can be translated as secrets or whatever you want. so many different conversations make me think this series could be sustainable.”
Is there room for another ‘Yellowstone’ in the programs? Yes it could be because we still don’t see ‘1883’ here, it’s before that. On the other hand, Brian WatkinsThe creator of the ‘Outer Range’, this successful model Items closest to ‘The X-Files’ or ‘True detective’: In the midst of his crisis, Abbott gives a Rust Cohle speech. As Brolin points out, the series has religious, spiritual, or metaphysical aspects. He talks about that moment when the illusion that everything is under control collapsed. In those moments, it becomes clear what we are made of. People present themselves with an outward appearance. Next is something else. I like to see Royal Abbott leave.”
fantastic west
Brolin grew up on a farm in Templeton, California, not Wyoming, quite unaware of the artistic activity of his father, actor James Brolin. “When I was little at that horse farm,” he recalls, “I read sci-fi writers like this. Ray Bradbury to Isaac Asimov blew my mind. I felt like I was discovering new colors. I felt like I was imagining people discovering the blues after listening to classical music all their lives.”
By signing off on a project like ‘Outer Range’, he pays homage to both the illustrative reading and one of his favorite genres, the “west, on the other hand, the west, where we’ve taken a big hit. It’s a pretty cosmetic genre, very simple: if you do something to piss someone off, you’ll have immediate consequences.” It was fun to take this moral universe and slap it in the face with something this metaphysical.”
Director Ruizpalacios and Seimetz
It can also be read as ‘The Outer Reach’, for the husband and father of a family beset by an impossible vision. The spiritual sequel to ‘The Refuge’it (pre)apocalyptic drama Jeff Nichols He built a cult around actor Michael Shannon. “I liked that he brought that movie up,” Brolin replies to this newspaper. “That scene in the pottery… He’s struggling with himself and with everything, and Shannon has the ability to capture that struggle in all its intensity.”
Nichols might have been an ideal director for ‘Outer Range’, but Alonso Ruizpalacios (‘A cop movie’) or Amy Seimetz herself (‘Dies tomorrow’) also relax in their swamps. Brolin seems proud to have made his first big Mexican promise, which is the opportunity to enjoy making television “after some complicated experience.” He also taught us a lot. He brought experimental techniques from London and from there that brought the team together before starting work. His ideas set the mood for the entire shoot.”
