Luke Grimes Moves On: New Twisted Western After Yellowstone Feud Rumors!

BBG News

Actor Luke Grimes, known for his role in Yellowstone, has moved past that part of his career and is now promoting a highly anticipated, complex new western film that boasts an impressive cast.

Luke, age 41, gained widespread recognition as a key figure in the popular television show, portraying Kayce Dutton, the son of John Dutton, the patriarch of the ranch depicted in the series, played by Kevin Costner.

Kevin dramatically departed from the series prior to its concluding season, following rumors of intense disagreements with the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan.

After he left, Luke expressed that the final episodes were particularly straightforward to shoot since some of the conflicts had lessened, which sparked speculation that he may have had disagreements with Kevin. However, he firmly dismissed any lingering negative emotions on his part.

Currently, the series has concluded, and Luke is tirelessly marketing his newest addition to the western genre – Eddington, a movie directed by Ari Aster, who’s also known for Midsommar and Hereditary.

During the period of the COVID-19 outbreak and what appeared to be the start of the Black Lives Matter protests, the film is situated with Luke in a prominent ensemble, joined by stars such as Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Austin Butler, and Pedro Pascal.

Luke posted a movie poster on Instagram, sporting the witty tag ‘#HindsightIs2020’, an undeniable reference to our current times amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The picture shows a well-known photo by David Wojnarowicz, capturing buffaloes plunging from a precipice, which he took amidst the devastating AIDS crisis, ultimately taking his own life as well.

In this rephrased version, Joaquin plays the role of a sheriff in a small New Mexican town, while Pedro portrays the local mayor. Their personalities clash significantly, leading to a power struggle that ultimately involves those surrounding them.

The upcoming film titled Eddington, set to be released on July 18, boasts an impressive ensemble including Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, and Clifton Collins Jr. in its star-studded cast.

Luke’s post surfaces several weeks following news about his potential appearance in the forthcoming Yellowstone spinoff focusing on Kayce, whose title remains undisclosed, as reported by Parade.

It hasn’t been decided yet if the upcoming season of the show will include Kayce’s wife Monica and their son Tate, who were portrayed by Kelsey Asbille and Brecken Merrill in the original series.

During the highly acclaimed five-season span of Yellowstone, Luke brilliantly portrayed Kayce Dutton, a key member of the ranching family whose lives are central to the narrative.

Kevin departed from the series following the completion of just the initial part of season five, leading to his on-screen character, John, being written off through a plotline involving a contract killing.

I can’t help but share my perspective on the situation, as a die-hard fan. The news of his exit from the show was shrouded in whispers about behind-the-scenes disputes with Taylor Sheridan, yet it seems clear now that it was all about clashing schedules between his own ambitious four-part Western film, Horizon – a project he directed, starred in, and co-wrote.

After investing approximately $38 million of his personal funds over several decades, a project that represented Kevin’s deep-seated passion, “Horizon,” made its initial appearance last year, but received poor ticket sales at the box office.

During 2024, the second half of Yellowstone’s fifth season was aired, which sparked debate among fans. Shortly following this, Luke provided an insightful interview discussing Kevin’s departure from the show.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I wholeheartedly believe that everyone should recognize the necessity of John Dutton’s demise, as I shared in an interview with Men’s Health. To put it candidly, there was a void left by Kevin’s absence, which undeniably diminished some of the series’ core conflicts.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but express my perspective on his statement: “Admittedly, it didn’t exactly bring the joy of camaraderie… Now, let me clarify, no one is being accused here, but surprisingly enough, this was the most effortless season we’ve ever captured on film.

I myself haven’t chatted with Kevin since his departure from the show, and I shared a chuckle as I said this: “It’s nothing personal or ill-feeling; it’s simply that, well, he’s Kevin Costner. He carries such a significant stature.

He explained that he indeed has his contact number, but he feels it may not be appropriate for him to initiate contact. If the other person wishes to get in touch with him, they are welcome to do so.

Exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, Kevin flatly denied any ongoing feud with Luke in a recent interview and clarified that they haven’t communicated since the final episode was broadcast.
