Matthew McConaughey admires Kevin Costner’s ‘Yellowstone’ role: ‘What will men do to protect land and family’

foxnews.com:

Matthew McConaughey is soon joining the "Yellowstone" universe, in a highly anticipated new series. Details about the show are still scarce, but in a recent interview on the "Lex Fridman Podcast," McConaughey spoke about the appeal of the show and its lead, Kevin Costner. "I admire the simplicity of it.

One way you could explain ‘Yellowstone’ and Costner’s role is what will men do to protect land and family in a world that is trying to encroach?" McConaughey said. "In a world where there’s a cowboy ethos that deems trespassing more clear earlier than other hats.

I admire that simplicity of right and wrong." When discussing that moral code, Fridman noted that it doesn’t always abide by the law, and McConaughey responded, "No, it’s above the law." He continued, "It’s a little bit of, ‘If the law ain’t handling this, I am.’ And then it is, ‘The law’s not going to handle it, therefore I am.’ Then it’s, ‘I’m handling this.The law?

Talk to them when you get to them. I’m handling this.'"  In April, Paramount Media Networks President and CEO Chris McCarthy confirmed in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that the "Dallas Buyers Club" star is lined up for an extension series set within the Taylor Sheridan-created world of "Yellowstone." The original "Yellowstone" series is ending after the second half of season five.The final episodes are set to air in November, after delays in filming and rumored behind-the-scenes drama with series star Costner.
