CURRENT SINGLE – “7500 OBO”
Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the Paramount+ series 1883, starring Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, is a stickler for details when it comes to making sure everything on the set is a proper representation of the time period. Tim McGraw says, “Knowin’ Taylor, nothing surprises me about his accuracy. He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around. He’s always comin’ up with little ideas like, ‘Why are you wearing your gun that way? They didn’t wear their guns that way. Don’t roll up your sleeve. Cowboys didn’t roll up their sleeve.’ Stuff that he knows that I had no idea about that makes it work.”
Tim is glad Taylor is so focused on the details. “I think he tries to make it as real and as authentic and as historically accurate as he possibly can,” says Tim. “They’re not missing any details on any of this, which makes it easy to get into the world. You get there and you sort of mind relax and breathe in this mountain air and walk around and imagine what was going on during that time period, and imagine what your character would feel like. It makes your job easy.”
Episode 9 of 1883 will be available this Sunday, 2/19, on Paramount+, then Episode 10, which will be the season one finale will air on Sunday, 2/26.
Tim McGraw – accuracy of 1883 :38
“Knowin’ Taylor, nothing surprises me about his accuracy. He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around. He’s always comin’ up with little ideas like, ‘Why are you wearing your gun that way? They didn’t wear their guns that way. Don’t roll up your sleeve. Cowboys didn’t roll up their sleeve.’ Stuff that he knows that I had no idea about that makes it work. But I think he tries to make it as real and as authentic and as historically accurate as he possibly can. And the set design’s so good on this. They’re not missing any details on any of this, which makes it easy to get into the world. You get there and you sort of mind relax and breathe in this mountain air and walk around and imagine what was going on during that time period, and imagine what your character would feel like.
