launch on Monday, and gave his thoughts about the veteran actor joining Taylor Sheridan's family in the upcoming prequel,  “I think people, actors in general, move towards writing,” he says about Ford’s decision to join the cast. “I think that as long as they're going to stay in this game, you want to go to a place that surprises you.

If it doesn't surprise you, it's very unlikely that it will surprise an audience.” Costner adds, “The truth is you don't want your work to be disposable and you'd like to know if people haven't heard it over here and go, ‘I keep hearing something about it,’ well, you gotta try to make sure that when they see it, there's something special about it.

I do know that we've made a fun, compelling series that takes you places and is in an environment, is in a world that is absolutely alive in America.” When it comes to offering advice to Ford or Helen Mirren -- who is also set to join the actor in the upcoming series -- Costner says that he’s “not in the advice business.”  It was announced on Monday that was the new official title for the series that was originally called, which, according to a press release, was done to account for the end of World War 1 and the start of Prohibition.
