Taylor Sheridan is very popular right now (along with the modern Western theme which I would guess he’s been part of) and since he wrote the original movie the studios probably feel it’s a hot property. But I absolutely agree with your sentiment. D84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
