Welcome to Younghollywood. com. Oh, they're so elegant. I wish we were sisters. Oh my god. We're here of course with Val Kilmer. Now, you produced as well as star in Comanche Moon.
I'd like to say I had a substantial contribution, but they were kind to include me in the credits. I didn't have much to do except say, "Yes, very good."
Now, with recent films such as Three Ten to Yuma, do you think Hollywood's making a trend towards Western films?
We always come back to the Western. It's too much fun. Sadly, we are a bloody nation and the West has always got a lot of healthy gore in it. I don't know why I'm smiling, but we like, we like violence.
Here with Steve Zahn, what drew you to Comanche Moon?
I'm a huge fan of Lonesome Dove. To spend three months riding horse eight hours a day and doing these amazing characters was something that I would have done for free. I didn't tell them that before, but
Do you think Hollywood's making a trend towards Westerns coming back?
I think it's cyclical. It keeps coming back. It's the American myth. It comes back and it goes away and it comes back.
We are here with Ryan Merriman.
It was great. We went to like two weeks of cowboy camp. We learned how to ride in like unison, riding, you know, lines, shooting guns while riding, growing up in Oklahoma, obviously. First, I'm a cowboy at heart.
We're here with Linda Cardellini. What was the toughest part of going back to the 1800s?
I'd have to say those corsets and those hoops in the dirt and in the dust. There's a lot of dust storms there.
We're here with Keith Robinson. Got a little sore?
Very tough, very sore. First few days I was very sore. We weren't riding horses all day like we were in this movie. So now, I mean, I'm very, I'm an expert. I can run up in your house and not break anything on a horse right now. It's been a while since we've seen some good ones. I think that now they're coming back. So, I mean, it's, it's, it's a good time for Westerns. I'm glad to have, have one, have one on my belt. Young Hollywood, where are you?
