30 • THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2018
W
hen Geordie and I sat down with Mike Malone, the line producer for Godless, we
hadn't been to bed yet. Working all night on a Fraturday (Friday into Saturday), we
met with him at a local Santa Fe tea house, bleary-eyed. With the word "Western"
and a bottomless cup of coffee, we were awake, not to mention it was written and would be
directed by Scott Frank (Minority Report, Logan, Little Man Tate). We were in!
At a time when there is so much content, one can only hope to be handed a script that
makes you feel a certain way. Godless, once again, would give us an opportunity to be a
part of a genre that we love. Shooting in New Mexico would provide a canvas so broad, a
defined palette of muted colors and light so stunning, it would be a pure and ideal place to
shoot Scott Frank's vision.
