So this all started with AMC looking for a Western, right?
Tony Gayton: It's something Joe and I have always wanted to do. Joe and I have talked about Westerns for a long time and we were looking for the right opportunity to come along and when this came along, we jumped at the chance to do this Western and we could not have found a better place to do it.
Was this a specific story that you wanted to do, though? Or you heard there was the chance to do a Western and then you went looking for what interested you?
Joe Gayton: We knew they were looking for a Western and we'd seen this documentary a few years back on "American Experience" on the building of the transcontinental railroad and we thought it would be really intriguing to take what ostensibly is a Western and set it against that backdrop, just because of the great different types of characters, the greed and rapaciousness that were going on, because of all that it meant to this country and all that it meant to the Native Americans. We just thought it'd be a great milieu to set a Western in.
