This guy is a stupendously good at screenwriting

Fantastic interview. Taylor Sheridan is one of the best storytellers working in the business right now. Wind River is terrific.

Sheridan's signature is that he makes intelligent films for adults. "Sicario" is one of the great films of the century. "Hell..." was one of last year's top 5 films. "Wind River" will surely land on my Top 10 or higher for this year. Poland does the BEST interviews.

....when you find out that the movie you ABSOLUTELY loved last year (HOHW) was written by the same guy who wrote the movie you just walked out of that you loved just as much! Damn, this dude is f*ckin' talented.

I am Native American and its good to finally see a small glimpse in our world on the big screen.

I saw Wind River today. Blew me away. Great film.

Fantastic movie, amazing interview. Can't wait for Sheridan's next project; such a brilliant writer. I love the nuanced character-driven stories he tells.

He is a great screenwriter and a great director. Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River, Yellowstone, the movies and shows he's involved in are all great.

Easily becoming one of my favorite director/screenwriter. Hell or High Water and this one surprised me. Can't wait for his next movie.

Omg I love this guy !! I felt this Sicario vibe watching the movie and then saw it was directed by Sheridan, such a masterpiece. I love when he talks about the beginning of the third act at 9:30 that was soooooo well directed, just perfect.

@9:48 the shift at the 3rd act was amazing and makes the movie very unique. That's one reason why I love this film maker and to hear that he fought with studios to keep it in makes 2 scenes that are bridged very sweet. I think we will look at this filmmaker's catalog like we look at Scorsese and Tarantino and just revisit all these fantastic stories and the unique, moving ways that they're told.

This man is a genuis. His writing is filled with incredible wisdom and poetic. Wind river is incredible and Renner is one of my favorite actors because of him. Watch Mayor of Kingstown, Yellowstone, and 1883

I’m so glad to find the source of the genius behind Sicario and Hell or High Water. Def excited for his next project.

What a voice, personality and presence. I learned so much in this interview. Thank you.

Wind River has been incorporated in my subconscious forever.

I know you he has many ideas but as a country boy I love the dialogue and pacing in his writing, very realistic from an American country person point of view.

am mad about every word & every scene that Taylor writes!! he'es my inspiration! love the content!

What an incredibly gracious and patient communicator... Great inspiration

Hidden Treasures in all of his work. My all time favorite writer. Hell or high water and wind river are two of my favorites by far

What a great interview! Articulate and interesting to see his thinking. So glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

I would love to see Jeremy Renner work with Taylor Sheridan again. I know Jeremy Renner has said he would love to work with him again.

I could see him directing Blood Meridian

Thanks for doing this, love his work.

He is incredibly talented. And just a genuine person.

One of the best writers at this time

The first sentence in this video got me hooked lol. Great screenwriter and now director!

I've seen Sicario and Wind River now, and I've just loved Lawrence Taylor's work. They're such cool movies, not perfect films, but still stupendous and up there with my favorites. Excited to see what he does in the future.

Wind River is a movie you just don’t want to end. You want the characters to just keep going.

This is one of the truest writers and directors of our time. Brilliant.

great interview, this man has a very exciting road ahead ...

Love his fresh take on writing and movie making. Can’t wait to see more of his stuff in the future

Amazing writer. Sicario: Great. Hell or High Water: Great. Wind River: Underrated but GREAT. I can't wait for Yellowstone.

So much respect and Love from South Korea💕💕💕

Interesting stuff about cutting. I like Villeneuve but Blade Runner especially suffered from a cut that's just a bit too long for the cinema and falters here and there. The juxtaposed scene in Wind River technically wasn't needed because we see other clues that tell us what happened, yet it was an interesting break in the tension. And what tension it was! Considering the cartridge scene, weapon stopping power seems to have deliberately played a part in the narrative and impacted the shoot-outs. Also props to Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - their range is always quite narrow but the music alone is strong enough to carry scenes (not that it’s needed).

Amazing that he went from a medicore acting career to one of the best screenwriters around

Very good movie. Riveting story. Enjoy Taylor Sheridan's storytelling and characters.

I must say I loved Sicario, pirated the first one, went to the movies for the second one, then I loved Wind River as well, sadly wasn't any screenings either, now that I know it's all done by the same masterpiece writer I'll surely go to every one of his screenings.

Admire the work of this brother

top filmmaker this days, along with Alex Garland, Jeremy Saulnier and the McDonagh bros.

Wondering how happy he is about his boy Brandon and how stupid we look now....

Already one of the best in the business.

This trio of films is stupendous. Jeremy Renner had in this his best role ever.

BRILLANT

What scene is were the studios wanting to cut?

His movies age better than his politics praise God. I pray for open hearts, minds, ears and eyes….mine, his and yours.

I am happy to hear he say that HOHW and Wind River make up the trilogy, because Day of Soldado really didn't feel like the spiritual successor of Sicario.

Hmmm. Jeremy's character was herding sheep when his daughter died, he says so in the movie.

Great movie!

At 11:15 Taylor talks about the scene the studio didn't want In . But when Harvey Weinstein saw it he " Loved it " now we know why . Disturbing af.

Are you telling me Cory coulda been Chris Pine????? Come ooonnnn D; That being said I think Jeremy NAILED this performance as Cory and I was not disappointed :)

What's his background? He would make a great Professor 📕📽️. Why is the disappearance of native American women underrepresented?

Very interesting guy

Please

Longmire S04E06.

The problem with most interviewers is that they are, almost always, kissing ass, at awe with the person and not actually having a normal conversation.

The interviewer talks more than Taylor.

it took a guy from New Zealand to write great modern Westerns!

How disorienting, officer hale from SoA is actually a talented screenwriter filmmaker that’s awesome lol

Genius

He sounds like an accountant.

A really smart guy. interesting to listen to. But two questions: - at 9:05 he goes "There's the director in me - I just crossed the line, I gotta keep my eyes over here". Is it like that when filming, that the actors can't look over to "the other side" of the camera?! I thought they were just not supposed to look INTO the camera, but anywhere else is fine. Not "crossing the line" seems like a strange rule. How can you act natural whilst controlling your glances? - Do Hollywood producers really care so much about the chronology or a screenplay? The rape scene could never have gone in the start of this movie - THAT would have messed up the structure. Lots of films are anti-chronological, when the story demands it - like "Inside Man". Why the hell would they object to that here? Well, anyway - love his work. Bringing back real movies to Hollywood, instead of the never-ending weird-powered superheroes and their exploding CGI spaceships.

Damn it I’m jealous of this guy.......Damn it!

Had to get in that political statement with no context, huh? Good interview, nevertheless.

Why did they start with something political

power :):):):)

thanks for the spoiler warning. I ain't watching that lol

Three months after this interview Lionsgate would take over distribution of Wind River from The Weinstein Company.

When you butcher the name of a film to the director not once but two or more times and the director has the class not to correct you. Come Hell or High Water not high hell or high water.

...okay, but can we talk about how completely and totally hot this man is?

I don't think the guy questioning him liked his movies at all. He doesn't like the idea of valuing people point of view. For him movies should be movies just don't deviate into politics nor government. Just my opinion lol

Any spoilers ?

I'm with you on the statement but I honestly I'm disappointed that you lead with that. This is about the movie Wind River, let what needs to come out, i.e. political views, come out organically. To lead with it is a sad and desperate. Even as someone who agrees, I am not happy with that bull.

I watched it on lsd. Dude you had to go through the process of getting it done. What a masterpiece

what the Hell was that at the beginning? lol

And why, I might ask, was that anti-Trump snipet doing in this interview!!!

Wow, he predicted Joe Biden.

Of course weinstein loves that part

He has really right wing themes for a leftie loon

Maybe if he wrote The Emoji Movie, I might've given a couple fucks.

First of all I absolutely love Wind River and all of Sheridan’s work. But it just feels like such poetic justice when he talks shit about Trump, someone he doesn’t know or have any personal connection with. (Most likely) and by the same token is so complementary of Harvey Weinstein. What great judge of character right? Someone we should really trust. Watch the company you keep.

Apparently, he feels the need to express his politics now that he's got a few winners under his belt, just like the rest of them. Sad, but we the audience might not agree with his politics yet we are the silent viewers who pay the money to support his filmmaking career. It would be a nice sign of humility if he recognized how imperious and arrogant he sounds now that he's making the bucks. Yeah, if we focus on the man's work - very fine, indeed.

Wow--never figured him for yet another 'Hollywood Liberal.' Damn shame as he is a great writer.

After reading the synopsis for Wind River, this is the type of story which makes one think about the film's characters going into shops and doing normal things afterwards, which is a bad thing. Wind River's story is the same as many other stories, which is what makes this type of reaction a negative bias against the film; a story shouldn't make you think about the characters in the story using shopping malls and reading books afterwards REPLY

Thanks for that first clip. Saved me from watching the rest of the vid.

MAGA

Just had to go POLITICAL. I’m sick of people in Holly-World stating their political views. I’m a Medical Professional and do not discuss my political views. Imagine that !. I enjoyed the movie and especially the song “ Feather “ by William Wild. You do not want to remembered by YOUR political views unless that is how you make your living.

Well guess I'm not watching anything else he makes.

I like this guy's writing and especially Yellowstone. But keep your politics separate from your work ffs. I lost respect instantly with those opening remarks. Trump has done absolutely nothing to be impeached for. He's the best President for America of my lifetime or more. Try listening to less CNN, snowflakes.
