Finally, here is your link to the interview I did with John Fusco earlier this month.
John Fusco Spills The Beans on Young Guns III
Perhaps you will be as surprised as I am about who actually wrote the script for YGIII.
Smitten With The Mittens
Location, location, location
What happens when a movie location becomes a beloved shrine? For one thing, when we watch Westerns that were filmed in Monument Valley today, it's a little bit like watching Animal House that was filmed in the Sistene Chapel. Not exactly like that, but you get the picture, and the problem.
This is one of the issues we take up in the next issue. And, of course, you know who loved the Monument Valley location for filming probably more than anyone else on the planet. This guy:
John Ford, portrayed by David Lynch in Stephen Spielbergs "The Fablemans" which has a very nice coda featuring a horizon lesson from Ford that apparently actually happened to Stephen when he first went to Hollywood. Check it out.
"Where is the horizon?"
—John Ford
