Richard Dreyfuss to star in historical drama series Bozeman, Montana
-
The 1859-set drama will tell the story of the founding of the city of Bozeman, with plans to shoot the show in Montana. The show, which Dreyfuss is developing with Jerry K. Williams but with no network attached, will focus on young farmer John Bozeman, the city's namesake, 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," according to Deadline. "In Bozeman, Montana, 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." Dreyfuss previously worked in Montana for the Steven Spielberg 1989 film Always.
