79 years old and holding an Oscar, this legendary actress of this series Yellowstone proved that she was very comfortable with the action scenes – News Series

There are some cinema stars that do not age, but improve with age. Helen Mirren clearly belongs to this category. The 79 -year -old, the English actress awarded the Oscar for best actress (for The Queen) was earlier in the year in the 1923 casting, a prequel of Yellowstone.

Behind the scenes of the 1923 final action scene

In this Western series, Helen Mirren responds to Harrison Ford, more than 35 years after their last common appearance on the screen in the film The Mosquito Coast. The two cinema legends lend their features to a couple ready to do anything to defend their ranch against the army of mercenaries sent by their rivals.

Despite his advanced age, Helen Mirren did not need a lining for action scenes. The actress that appeared in the Fast & Furious saga and more recently in the Mafier Mobland series went so far as to impress John Coniglio, the leader of the series. In an interview with Varietythe latter returned to the manufacture of the final action scene of the program.

“It is an action scene, which takes place on hectares and hectares of the Yellowstone”he explains to our colleagues. “There are many different intrigues and characters who must all stay on the screen.” In this sequence, Cara Dutton (the character embodied by Helen Mirren) climbs on the roof of the Ranch armed with a bezel to eliminate the attackers at a distance.

Helen Mirren is really the queen of the roles of action

The manipulation of weapons by the English actress strongly impressed John Coniglio: “Helen Mirren, with a hunting rifle or a double cannon rifle, like the one she handles in the episode, is impressive” he judges, stressing that his work is to put himself at the service of the history of the series but also of the performances provided by the actors.

And the least we can say is that the latter has perfectly done justice to the brilliant interpretation of Helen Mirren. Obviously very comfortable in the handling of weapons, it occupies a central place in this action sequence designed as the 1923 climax. Fans will only regret that the broadcast of the program has completed season 2, by decision of its creator Taylor Sheridan.

All Yellowstone series can now be found in full and exclusively on Paramount+.
