Alexander Payne Talks ‘Election’ Sequel & Teases Upcoming Western With ‘The Holdovers’ Scribe David Hemingson — Sarajevo
The 'Sideways' director says that he's working on an 'Election' sequel with Jim Taylor and a new Western with 'The Holdovers' Scribe David Hemingson
Speaking at a masterclass at the Bosnian Cultural Center, Payne, whose last project The Holdovers earned five Oscar nominations, told the audience that he wanted to explore different genres from the types of films he has made so far. “So, right now while Jim [Taylor] and I are talking about a sequel to Election, with a different writer – the guy who wrote The Holdovers[David Hemingson], we have been conceiving a Western for years now.” Payne said he’d been inspired by the work of U.S. director Anthony Mann, who frequently collaborated with James Stewart in the 1950s, making Western films such as Winchester ’73 and Bend of the River.
