21 фев 2023TOMBSTONE (1993) It’s been called a modern classic and one of the best westerns of all time. Who’s to argue with that? It’s a movie that almost didn’t get made. Learn the real story of the film’s development, struggle for financing and distribution. There were three movies about Wyatt Earp all being developed and filmed almost simultaneously. Two of them theatricals, TOMBSTONE and WYATT EARP. The third, WYATT EARP: RETURN TO TOMBSTONE was for CBS network.
The two theatrical movies competed for performers and distributors. Dueling Wyatt Earp movies! The first in production, TOMBSTONE, was also the first to be released in the Fall of 1993. There had been production problems on TOMBSTONE and the original writer/director Kevin Jarre was fired and filming stopped. It resumed with a new director. During production, dozens and dozens of production personnel were fired or left the project.
The casting was superb and Kevin Jarre’s superb script had attracted one of the finest ensemble group of performers ever assembled for any film in any genre. Luckily the film got made and was discovered and supported by a very enthusiastic audience. It became a hit. Those western movie fans still revere, screen, and discuss the merits of TOMBSTONE at every opportunity.
Joining A WORD ON WESTERNS producer host to talk about the development of the classic is actor/producer/historian Peter Sherayko, who portrayed the real life character, Texas Jack Vermillion. His memories will amaze you. And amuse you, too. The conversation took place at The Autry Museum November 8, 2022.
