Yellowstone is currently the only series flying around the world for being iconic and unique on its own turf. Sandra Bullock’s co-star Tim McGraw is part of the prequel series titled 1883 that follows the Dutton family departing from Texas.
Well, starring in 1883 was one of the best decisions that Sandra Bullock’s co-star ever made since he and his wife, Faith Hill were able to star together in the drama miniseries. Talking about the opportunity, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are quite happy that they were able to star in the series.
Sandra Bullock’s Co-Star Is Glad He Took The Opportunity
Before Taylor Sheridan found him, Tim McGraw starred alongside Sandra Bullock in the 2009 film titled The Blind Side. The sports/drama film was quite successful, and McGraw became a noticeable presence in Hollywood.
Taylor Sheridan is one of the writers and creators of the 2018 Western drama series titled Yellowstone which has been making all the buzz around the internet in recent times. Wanting to delve further into the story, Sheridan decided to create a drama miniseries serving as a prequel to Yellowstone. The project was titled 1883 and saw Tim McGraw and his wife Faith Hill in the lead roles as James and Margaret Dutton.
In an interview with ET, the actress sat down for a chat to talk about the prequel miniseries and getting cast in the lead role of 1883.
“I went through a little bit of a depression, I have to say, for a couple of weeks I was just really sad. There was something about that schedule too that was severe and grueling but it became so much a part of our lives for almost six months.”
She further continued,
“We couldn’t pass up [the roles]. We’ve been asked to do things together before, the reason for this one, this particular one, was because of the material, we couldn’t pass it up. It felt like a blessing, we felt so lucky, honestly, to have that fall into our lap,”
Alongside the role, the couple also revealed the reason why they were easily convinced to join the cast of 1883. Citing the reason as only the writing of Taylor Sheridan, Faith Hill revealed that the script felt like poetry.
The Couple Was Drawn Towards Taylor Sheridan’s Writing!
With Yellowstone currently at the midseason climax of the series, fans are eagerly waiting for newer episodes to be released. Being a master of his craft, Taylor Sheridan would have likely developed the perfect ending for the series. At least, that’s what fans could hope for considering the writer’s style was what drew Sandra Bullock’s co-star and Faith Hill to the prequel project.
“When we first started reading the script, 1883, it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read — both of us, and it’s just truly incredible. I mean Taylor’s writing is what drew us to the entire project,” McGraw told ET
The 2021 miniseries received a rating of 8.7/10 on IMDB and 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. Before the finale of Yellowstone drops, 1883 is available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.
