Taylor Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions and David Glasser’s 101 Studios have teamed up acquire two feature scripts from Andrew Lauren, one of the producers of The Brutralist.
The projects, titles Visalia and Capture the Flag, are original concepts by Lauren, and written in part by Sheridan, the creator of the Yellowstone TV empire. The features are to be produced by Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch, 101 Studios, and Lauren.
Lauren originated the concept for the two projects many years ago, and had other writers work on the drafts of scripts. Sheridan was among the scribes, hired before he became one of the biggest names in television, and the concepts clearly stuck with him.
With the acquisition, Sheridan will take a more direct hand in their development and presumably in their writing.
Per the companies, Visalia “follows a determined young Cuban woman who escapes the only life she’s ever known, braving treacherous waters and relentless danger in pursuit of freedom in America. But when a historic political shift pulls her back to Cuba, she must confront the uncertain promises of a homeland transformed — and the price she’s paid to survive it.” The project was previously titled Mojito.
