So, I came across this article about Jeremy Piven talking about his new movie “Sweetwater”. Basically, Piven plays a corrupt sheriff who is causing trouble in a small town in the late 1800s. The movie also stars Ed Harris and January Jones.
One thing that caught my attention was how Piven talked about the challenges of playing a villain. He said that even though his character does some pretty messed up things, he had to find a way to justify his actions and make them seem understandable to the audience.
As someone who loves watching actors inhabit complex roles, I found this really interesting. It’s not often that you see a bad guy who is more than just a caricature of evil.
Aside from that, the article also mentioned some other tidbits about the movie, like how it was filmed in New Mexico and how Piven had to learn how to ride a horse for some of the scenes.
Overall, I thought it was a cool article that gave a good preview of what to expect from “Sweetwater”. If you’re a fan of Westerns or just enjoy watching talented actors do their thing, it’s definitely worth checking out.
