Dave Andron and Michael Dinner, showrunners for JustifiedCityPrimeval, reveal how Quentin Tarantino helped bring the revival series about.
Fans can thank Quentin Tarantino for the return of Raylan Givens on next year's miniseries Justified: City Primeval. A conversation with Timothy Olyphant about Elmore Leonard on the set of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood led to the FX series revival.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunners Dave Andron and Michael Dinner detail how they were considering adapting Leonard's 1980 novel City Primeval as a separate project when they received a call from Olyphant. "[O]ne day the phone rang, and it was Tim Olyphant who said, 'I've been sitting on the set with Quentin, and we were talking about this book, City Primeval. We thought it would make a great year of Justified.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY City Primeval was Leonard's first novel set in his native Detroit, and has been the subject of a number of other attempts to adapt the tale of psychotic outlaw Clement Mansell, the "Oklahoma Wildman", and his chaotic rampage through the Motor City. Legendary director Sam Peckinpah was interested in adapting it in his later years, and Tarantino himself was interested in filming it.
Justified: City Primeval will premiere on FX in the summer of 2023. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
