Overview
- Bosque Ranch Productions and 101 Studios announced on July 27 that they have acquired rights to Visalia and Capture the Flag with Taylor Sheridan credited as writer and producer and Andrew Lauren attached as a producer.
- Visalia is described as a political drama about a young Cuban woman who escapes to the United States and is later drawn back by a major political shift, while Capture the Flag follows a NASA engineer racing to build a reusable lunar spacecraft who faces ethical compromises when a tech tycoon offers help.
- Both projects are officially in development but have no directors, cast, production schedule, or distributors announced.
- The move marks Sheridan’s first credited feature work in about five years and comes while he remains an executive producer on multiple television series and has other studio film projects in his pipeline.
- Industry context: Sheridan’s film arrangement with Paramount has ended, his Paramount television deal remains active through 2028, and a larger move to NBCUniversal is expected to take effect later, giving him more freedom to develop films outside the Yellowstone universe.
