Sam Elliot är på tapeten just nu efter att ha briljerat genom prolog-serien 1883 i rollen som den väderbitna, plågade, härdade före detta nordstatskaptenen och revolvermannen Shea Brennan och när han fick frågan om vad han tyckte om Oscars-nominerade vilda västern-rullen The Power of the Dog nyligen, sparade gubben inte på krutet direkt. Tydligen hatar Elliot den filmen som enligt honom är en riktig låtsasvästern gjord av människor med absolut noll vetskap om genren eller om tidsåldern.
Sam Elliot ryter ifrån:
"That's what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like. They're running around in chaps and no shirts. Where's the Western in this Western? I mean, Cumberbatch never got out of his fucking chaps. He had two pairs of chaps, a woolly pair and a leather pair. And every fucking time he would walk in from somewhere, he never was on a horse, maybe once — he'd walk into the fucking house, storm up the fucking stairs, go lay in his bed in his chaps and play his banjo. It's like, what the fuck?"
"What the fuck does this woman from down there know about the American West? Why the fuck did she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana? And say this is the way it was? That fucking rubbed me the wrong way." Länk
