Matthew Fox Says ‘Bone Tomahawk’ Was the Moment He Decided to Step Away From Acting [Exclusive]

Westerns are a surprisingly flexible genre, able to explore almost any story using the vastness of the landscape. Bone Tomahawk brilliantly demonstrates this, blending western tropes with unexpected elements. Inspired by classics like John Ford’s The Searchers and the horror-western Ravenous, the film follows a group of frontiersmen on a rescue mission after people are kidnapped by cannibalistic cave dwellers. What starts as a typical western gradually shifts into an action-packed adventure, then a brutal survival story, ultimately becoming a truly horrifying experience – culminating in one of the most shocking and gruesome scenes ever filmed in the genre. Be warned: it involves a terrifying and graphic depiction of dismemberment.

This Tombstone Star Wrote A Sequel That Dropped Wyatt Earp Completely

Due to limited time and money, the original script had to be significantly trimmed. While you can still see some evidence of these cuts, the movie remains an exciting Western with a fantastic cast. This includes Stephen Lang, known for his role in Avatar, who plays the blustering and cowardly outlaw, Ike Clanton.

New Sci-Fi Movie Teased by Spider-Verse & Project Hail Mary Creatives

I remember when Lord and Miller first announced they were tackling ‘Artemis’ back in 2017 – it was exciting news, as it’s based on the novel by Andy Weir, the same guy who brought us ‘The Martian’. In fact, Weir’s latest book, ‘Project Hail Mary’, is actually what Lord and Miller are working on now, so they clearly enjoy his stories!

The Madison Review: Taylor Sheridan Shatters His Neo-Western Formula For The Perfect Anti-Yellowstone

When I heard Taylor Sheridan was planning a new family for his post-Yellowstone universe, I was immediately intrigued. Initially, it seemed like another direct sequel alongside shows like Luke Grimes’ Marshals and the planned series with Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly focused on Dutton Ranch. But ahead of The Madison‘s debut, it became clear this show is doing something different – telling a completely separate story, unconnected to the Duttons. Honestly, introducing a new family in the same region without tying them to the Duttons is a risky narrative move. It’s a bold statement, though, suggesting that Montana is bigger than just the Duttons, even after five seasons of focusing on them.

The Madison Review: Michelle Pfeiffer Leads Taylor Sheridan’s Quietest Show Yet

Taylor Sheridan’s new series, The Madison, feels different from his other shows like Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Mayor of Kingstown. While those series balanced intense action with quiet moments, The Madison is consistently subdued. Set along a peaceful river in Montana, the show follows a family from New York as they grapple with grief and attempt to heal by reconnecting with nature and each other. Unlike Sheridan’s previous work, explosive scenes are rare, creating a more contemplative and character-driven experience.
