Richard Dreyfuss Teams With Jerry K. Williams To Discover ‘Bozeman’ In Historical Drama TV Series
Allison Whitmer, Montana Film Commissioner, stated “we’re excited about the prospect of another Western series like Yellowstone coming to film in Montana and are looking forward to working with the filmmakers as they bring to life this important historical drama about the founding of Bozeman, Montana.”
Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss is partnering with Jerry K. Williams for the series Bozeman, a historical drama chronicling the founding of the titular Western town known for its proximity to Yellowstone and rich rich American history. Williams will serve as creator of the series and will co-produce and develop the series with Dreyfuss, who will also star.
Set in 1859, Bozeman will spotlight young farmer John Bozeman and gunslinger William McKenzie. The series will be based on history during America’s first gold rush in the heart of the Cherokee Nation and will follow Bozeman and McKenzie, who are both struggling with their own tragedies. In Bozeman, they will chase fame and fortune in the gold fields of what would become the territories and then states of Colorado and Montana. Gambling and fighting their way through Rocky Mountains, they find a pristine, gorgeous valley in the midst of Indian Country – a valley that John Bozeman audaciously believes is his to claim and tame.
“Montana is the landscape that generations of dreamers, despots, adventurers, explorers, crackpots, and heroes fought and died for. It’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth. There is no place like it.” Anthony Bourdain
