That’s an integral part of any western, you got to have horses that are trained for different skills. I don’t know how many, three or four, but they’re really terrific with their horses. The Schultz brothers, Schultz clan, really, there’s all kinds of Schultz. And this one, we used the same horse wranglers as we did the first one. Well, I had the good fortune of doing two westerns in Montana in 2020. Are you a big horse rider? I know working with animals can be a bit crazy. You feel like you’re breaking in some new ground. So that always something sort of exciting about that.

We popped its cherry, we were the first movie to shoot there. And so all of the buildings are actual buildings. You go into the church, it’s a church, you go into the Sheriff’s office, it’s the Sheriff’s office with the jail cell and all that. So it was a blast to shoot and really well made, all the buildings are built to last, they’re real buildings. I think they call it Yellowstone City now, and they rent it out to other Westerns that had come in after us. So we’ve got ways of shooting where you can get some dynamic angles of the town instead of just being one flat street or maybe two, we actually built a little community there and we were the first film to shoot. They also had a fantastic location with mountains in the background and around the different roads that come into the town. They built it to last, they wanted a fresh town, a fresh look. Sometimes that’s even fun to see the different movies recreate the same town, but the producers on this movie built this town from scratch. And you can tell if you’re a Western fan and that’s fine. So, all the Western towns out there have been used multiple times on multiple films, and they paint ’em different colors and change the signs and stuff, but it’s the same town. Thomas Jane: Well, we built that town for the movie. Tyler Treese: I love that this film was actually filmed in Montana at the Yellowstone Film Ranch. As the brutal murders continue, pitting neighbor against neighbor, Yellowstone City goes down a bloody path to a final showdown that not all will survive.” But nothing is so simple in this sleepy western town, and more than a few of the locals have secrets to keep and reasons to kill. “Any hope is soon shattered when the prospector is found dead and the Sheriff quickly arrests a mysterious newcomer. “The once peaceful and booming Yellowstone City has fallen on hard times, but when a local prospector strikes gold, things seem to be turning around,” reads the official synopsis of the film. ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Jane about the film, what he finds so intriguing about the genre, riding horses, and more.
