Sam Elliott Helped Kurt Russell Overcome His Biggest Tombstone Concern
By JEREMY SMITH
"Tombstone" is considered one of the most beloved Western movies, thanks in no small part to star Kurt Russell, who was the driving creative force of the film.
However, Russell was worried about direct competition with another high-profile epic film on the same subject, Lawrence Kasdan's "Wyatt Earp," starring Kevin Costner.
Luckily, co-star Sam Elliott got Russell not to be so concerned about the rival film. Elliott told Entertainment Weekly, "I said, 'What the f*** are you worried about, man?'"
He added, "I said, 'They haven't got this f***ing script and they haven't got this f***ing cast.' And that was the f***ing truth, you know? 'Apart from that, sweat all you want.'"
