During a recent interview with Collider, Garrett Hedlund (who plays an addiction-rattled bull rider named Mitch Keller) described the unbelievable pace at which “Tulsa King” was created, from Taylor Sheridan’s preliminary meeting with Sylvester Stallone all the way to the studio pitch.
“It was him and Sly sitting down [and] talking about doing something like this. Two days, 40 minutes later, Taylor pitched David Glasser the story,” Hedlund explained. “Next morning, he pitched how the story ends. Two days later, he had the script. The next day they took it to the studio, sold the idea. That’s just who Taylor is. That’s how he works, that’s how he operates.” Hedlund described how this incredibly fast schedule is a great indication of why Sheridan’s work is so popular –- because it embodies the same gritty determination that he brings to every aspect of his own life.
Whatever the true reason for “Tulsa King’s” appeal, it’s undeniably impressive that Taylor Sheridan was apparently able to create this entire show in around six days — which makes the incredible success of “Tulsa King” all the more admirable.
