Kevin Costner is just not giving up Westerns simply but and is returning in Prime Video’s new Western collection titled The Grey Home, which is “spiritually” a prequel to an iconic Clint Eastwood film launched 50 years in the past.
The Grey Home is a historic miniseries produced by Morgan Freeman and Costner and is about on the Underground Railroad in the course of the U.S. Civil Warfare, as 4 girls assist flip the tide of conflict in favor of the Union by altering from railroad operatives into spies. The collection’ forged consists of Daisy Head, Paul Anderson, Amethyst Davis, Ian Duff, Hannah James, Robert Knepper, and Christopher McDonald.
In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Liam Crowley for The Grey Home, government producer Lori McCreary and author Leslie Greif spoke about The Grey Home forward of its February 26 launch date, in addition to the simple connection to Eastwood’s iconic Western conflict movie, The Outlaw Josey Wales, launched in 1976 and Costner’s miniseries is type of a prequel to what Eastwood’s movie ended up turning into:
Liam Crowley: The Grey Home technically exists in the identical world as 1917 and Oppenheimer. With that in thoughts, are there any items of movie or tv which are set across the Civil Warfare period that you simply suppose are a pleasant little gateway to watching both earlier than or after The Grey Home?
Leslie Greif: From a Western standpoint, you bought the Outlaw Josey Wales with Clint Eastwood, which was post-war, after it occurred. You had the sooner issues like The Blue and the Grey. You have been capable of inform North and South. These are two out of that ’70s period that we wished to have the ability to spin out.
The Outlaw Josey Wales stars Eastwood as a Missouri farmer who joins a Accomplice guerrilla unit after Union “Pink Legs” homicide his household. He refuses to give up because the Civil Warfare ends and is hunted down as an outlaw, creating a brand new and unconventional household whereas looking for revenge. The Grey Home is about when the Civil Warfare begins, and they’re, in fact, in favor of the Union, so seeing either side of the coin is fascinating for lovers of historical past and motion.
Lori McCreary: I believe that if you wish to see the ethical value of conflict, possibly Glory, simply because I am related with Morgan. It is a type of movies that so many individuals come as much as Morgan and say, “I didn’t know we have been there. I didn’t know this story.” And so I am hoping that girls come out of The Grey Home and say, “Wow, look what we did. That is type of nice.”
Leslie Greif: John Frankenheimer’s Andersonville is one other nice piece of filmmaking when you like that stuff.
Lori McCreary: Lincoln as properly. I imply, that was pretty latest.
Glory was launched in 1989 and starred Freeman as Sgt. Maj. John Rawlins in the course of the American Civil Warfare and highlights the Union Military’s first all-black regiments, exhibiting prejudice on either side of the conflict. Seeing an underrepresented minority in the course of the Civil Warfare is a useful perception for these attempting to look again via historical past and see issues via a wholly totally different lens.
Frankenheimer’s 1996 movie titled Andersonville confirmed starvation, publicity, and illness attacking Union troopers at an overcrowded Accomplice jail camp in 1864 Georgia, and the enduring 2012 movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis titled Lincoln confirmed a wholly totally different perspective of political leaders tackling the Civil Warfare and President Abraham Lincoln attempting to unite his nation and abolish slavery.
The Grey Home might be out there to stream on Prime Video on February 26.
