The 'Yellowstone' co-creator, who joined forces with the acting icon and Emmy-winning writer Terence Winter to create his latest Paramount+ series, wrote the pilot in a day.
The duo pitched the idea to Stallone that Monday, and then secured Emmy winner Terence Winter to creatively take the lead on the project as showrunner. Winter says Sheridan met with him just once, then moved onto his other projects. “Taylor said: ‘It’s your baby, I just have visitation rights,’” Winter recalls. -esque role. The 76-year-old is acutely aware — through a long series of hits and misses across nearly six decades in cinema — of what types of roles best fit his imposing frame.
. “This felt like a new way into familiar territory,” said Winter, who only met Sheridan once throughout making the first season. “The genius of Taylor’s pilot is it’s a marriage of two genres: the Western and the gangster movie.” While Sheridan took a hands-off approach to his project, Stallone was the opposite — which occasionally sparked a bit of behind-the-scenes creative friction. On, Winter was accustomed to a cast that adhered to every word of his scripts. “It was verbatim,” Winter says of the HBO series. “Every pause, every ‘um,’ every ‘you know’ — it’s all [in the scripts].”
Winter says he viewed Stallone’s input as a benefit. “With Stallone, you’re getting a writer, a director, a producer, an editor,” he says. “He’s got great ideas, and he’s got strong opinions about things, and he’s been doing this for a really long time at the highest possible level. He’s also been in his own skin for so long that he knows what works and knows what he does well.”Stallone was especially focused on the editing, Glasser notes.
