Teton Ridge Entertainment shares that belief and recognizes that this story is as relevant today as it was in 1952. I have tremendous respect for how they are breathing new life into the Western, a genre that sits at the very foundation of American storytelling. I\u2019m excited to work with them as a creative collaborator to help bring this timeless story to a new generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Teton Ridge Entertainment\u2019s Jillian Share, Thomas Tull and Jen Gorton will produce the film adaptations alongside Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk for Thunder Road Pictures, and\u00a0David L.
