Jarred wanted to shoot it like a ‘40s Western flick, but the production team did not agree. “He wanted everything in this long master shot. That’s the way they used to shoot in the 40s, and that’s the way he wanted to shoot his movie,” Biehn said. “[The production crew] were looking at dailies thinking, ‘This is not a modern retelling of an old story. This looks like it’s an old Western that is being shot back in the ’40s.’ That’s what Kevin wanted. That’s what he fought for. And that’s what he eventually got fired for.”

Jarre later got fired from the film, but he managed to finish finalizing the cast members. Sam Elliott said, “I remember going and having lunch with him at a place on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, which I don’t think is even there anymore. And Kevin said he was having all of his meetings there, like he was holding court… I think Kevin’s the one who really controlled this thing creatively before it got off the ground.”
