The idea of essentially getting a feature-length version of the finale ofLandmanis an incredibly exciting idea, andEmpire of the Summer Moonis the only project that could deliver on that hope.Empire of the Summer Mooncould be just as fast-paced and punchy asLandman’s final episode was, and it should be able to introduce and develop its characters just as efficiently. On top of that, Sheridan’s next movie won’t have any of the slower moments or controversies, likeAinsley’s (Michelle Randolph) sexualization inLandman, that dragged the show’s middle episodes down.
What To Expect From Taylor Sheridan’s Empire Of The Summer Moon Movie
Empire Of The Summer Moon Follows Chief Quanah Parker & The Comanche Tribe At The End Of The 1800s
Even though Taylor Sheridan’sEmpire of the Summer Moonadaptation is a ways off and we don’t know if it’s a movie or a show yet, there are still some things known about the project that are also exciting.TheEmpire of the Summer Moonbook tells the story of Chief Quanah Parker, a war leader of the Kwahadi band of the Comanche nation who ruled from 1890 to 1911. Based on that timeline, Sheridan’s project will likely be a more classic Western, which will be a nice change of pace from his recent focus on modern day and neo-Westerns.
The Empire of the Summer Moon book tells the story of Chief Quanah Parker, a war leader of the Kwahadi band of the Comanche nation who ruled from 1890 to 1911.
Sheridan has done classic Westerns before - both1883andLawmen: Bass Reevestake place around the same time - butEmpire of the Summer Moonwill also be unique for another reason. It follows the Comanche people as its main characters, not as side characters in another story.Sheridan has always had a great deal of respect for the Native American characters he creates, butEmpire of the Summer Moonwill be the first time he gets to tell a story that focuses on their history and their fight against Westward Expansion. Chief Quanah Parker should be a very different type of protagonist for Sheridan to write about.

Empire of the Summer Moonshould have something for all of Taylor Sheridan’s fans.Its sprawling story that covers four decades of the Comanche nation’s history should appeal toYellowstonefans who liked its generations-long narrative. Its classic Western setting should seem reminiscent to1883andLawmen: Bass Reevesfans, and the book it’s based on should also draw in history buffs. Most importantly, however, the possibility that it could be written as a movie should excite anyone who enjoyed the finale ofLandmanseason 1, and anybody who liked one of Taylor Sheridan’s earlier movies.
