BEHIND THE STREAMS
In November, audiences will be treated to the premiere of the new original series Landman , from Taylor Sheridan, Co-Creator of Yellowstone and starring Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton, Golden Globe nominee Demi Moore and Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm. Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, the series tells the gripping story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires in the world of oil rigs fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics. To learn more about the highly anticipated series based on the podcast “Boomtown,” we sat down with co-creator and executive producer Christian Wallace .
- Can you tell us about the process of bringing the complex world of oil rigs to life with Taylor and how much of the podcast informed the creative process?
Taylor and I spent more than two years talking about Landman. When I first met with him on the set of 1883, he already had a main character in mind who worked for a West Texas oil company. I’m from that region and worked as a roughneck on an oil rig, so that world is familiar to me. Those experiences and the reporting I did for Boomtown informed our conversations as we figured out the other characters and their journeys. Some scenes that made it into the show were inspired by real events, some were based on stories I’d heard growing up, and others came entirely from Taylor’s imagination.- The stakes are high in Landman and the show’s characters have vastly different motivations. Set the stage for us for where we meet them in the first episode.
Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) is dealing with so many problems—from explosions in the oil patch to implosions in his family life. His son, Cooper (Jacob Lofland), is the “worm” (new guy) on an oil rig and is trying to learn the ropes without getting killed. And Angela (Ali Larter), Tommy’s ex-wife, is constantly giving him a hard time, even while she’s miles away on a beach in Cabo. They’re a dysfunctional but loving family unit whose fortunes are directly tied to the volatile West Texas oil patch.- What are you most excited for audiences to see in this new series (without giving any spoilers)?
I’m excited for audiences to see a slice of Texas that has never really been seen before. Other series have tackled big-city oil tycoons, but our show explores both the C-suites and the gritty, blue-collar world of oil rigs. West Texas is a dusty and often dangerous place, but it’s also filled with good people trying to make an honest living. Although few understand this place, the work and the resources extracted from there affect our daily lives and impact everything from geopolitics to economies across the world. Our cast and crew did an incredible job of bringing these complexities to the screen, and I can’t wait for people to see how their hard work and talent paid off.Don’t miss this star-studded cast in Landman premiering November 17.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Martian (Michael Fassbender), currently undercover for the CIA, has been ordered to abandon his covert persona and return to London Station for his most pivotal mission yet. However, after years of establishing a clandestine character, which includes a passionate romance, the agent must contend with where his furtive existence ends and his true identity begins.
A fresh take on the hit French drama The Bureau, The Agency, starring Fassbender, also features critically lauded actors Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, Jodie Turner-Smith, Katherine Waterston and John Magaro. The 10-episode espionage thriller from SHOWTIME® is helmed by decorated creatives including Oscar-winning actor and producer, George Clooney and BAFTA-winning director, Joe Wright, as well as acclaimed screenwriters Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (Ford v Ferrari, Edge of Tomorrow).
