Harrison Ford discusses why he wanted to join YellowstoneTV prequel '1923,' reuniting with Helen Mirren, and being part of the Dutton dynasty.
From creator and executive producer Taylor Sheridan, Paramount+ series 1923 is a prequel that builds out more of the Dutton dynasty first established on-screen in Yellowstone. The show takes place after the events of the previous prequel, 1883, starring Tim McGraw as James Dutton and Faith Hill as Margaret Dutton, which chronicled the story of the family's journey West to settle in Montana and form the beginnings of what will become the Yellowstone Ranch.
We used to think of television as having less ambition, perhaps, than feature films. It's no longer the case at all. This is one of the most ambitious undertakings I've ever taken on, and I'm so pleased with what I've seen so far. Because we're in post-production on much of it, but we have the first couple of episodes locked, and I'm delighted by what I see.
FORD: I've been working and busy, and I haven't had a lot of time to catch up, but I thought it more important that I see all of 1883, which I did, because that is the closest in time and story-wise of the developed Yellowstone elements. Yellowstone, which takes place in contemporary time... I love the work that Kevin's doing and I love the show, but 1883 was more important to me to concentrate on, and it was very useful in helping me understand the way they have been storytelling.
QUESTION: You mentioned working with Helen Mirren. I'm curious what it was like developing your on-screen relationship with her for this. But I still enjoy working, I still enjoy telling stories. Taylor Sheridan is certainly one of those people that is the most extraordinary talents of our current time. And I'm having a really good time doing this.FORD: Well, the character finds himself in very difficult circumstances, the pressures of the ranch, which represents the future for his family. The pressures are intense. They're in the midst of a drought. The Depression is nearing. The economic support is crumbling.
