'West' is one of those scripts that, when it came out, everyone wanted a piece of it and everyone wanted to be involved in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Slow West' is a western, and it's sort of a twist on the genre stylistically, I think, from what I understand going in.
Along with its enchanting and exquisite melodies, West Side Story has attitude and a tremendous amount of frenetic energy. It's emotional, theatrical and technical. It's everything.
The Western genre is certainly something with which I'm familiar.
It's funny because 'West Wing' is similar to 'Game of Thrones' in some ways, as it was very hard to pull off back then.
I had the advantage of reading the book, and when the script was first submitted to me, it was just another gangster story - the east side taking over the west side and all that.
I think that the Western went away for a while because part of its function was that it used to be America's action film.
It was because of my great interest in the West, and my belief that its development would be assisted by the interest I could awaken in others, that I decided to bring the West to the East through the medium of the Wild West Show.
The West was a wonderful world to me. I decided then that if this is the way they did things, then I wanted to be part of it.
I've thought about doing other dramatic roles besides westerns, but I grew up in the West and I know the West.
The 'Western' is the only genre whose origins are almost identical with those of the cinema itself.
