Forget ‘Yellowstone,’ Taylor Sheridan’s Brutal Neo-Western Is Officially on HBO Max

The lion’s share of Taylor Sheridan’s writing efforts in the last few years have been focused on building his TV empire at Paramount, but older fans of Sheridan’s work will remember when he was best known for movies, not TV shows. Sheridan made his feature writing debut all the way back in 2015 on Sicario, which is still widely viewed to this day as one of the best projects of his career, if not the best. Sheridan even penned the script for a Sicario sequel just three years after the release of the original film, but Denis Villeneuve did not return to direct and was instead replaced by Stefano Sollima. Sheridan and Sollima later worked together on the 2021 Tom Clancy adaptation, Without Remorse, starring recent Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan in the lead role of John Kelly.
