From a Montana ranch to West Texas oil rigs, “Yellowstone” fans are in for a treat, as director Taylor Sheridan is set to premiere his next project, “Landman.”

While Billy Bob Thornton shared the screen again with Demi Moore, the Hollywood actor told Fox News Digital he’s maintained a good relationship with his co-star and her family throughout the years — including ex-husband Bruce Willis.

“She’s always been a sweetheart,” Thornton said of Moore. “She was so nice to me when I first met her, when I only had two scenes in a movie she was starring in, and she’s just as sweet today as she was then.”

Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton starred together in “The Astronaut Farmer,” “Bandits,” and “Armageddon.”

“I’ve always been very close with Bruce,” Thornton said. “Bruce and I did three movies together… Demi used to bring the kids to visit the set all the time. So, I’ve known them like family for a long time… she’s awesome.”

Demi Moore

Demi Moore attends the “Landman” premiere at Paramount Studios on November 12, 2024, in Los Angeles, California.

Willis and his ex-wife Moore share three daughters together — Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.

In March 2022, it was announced that Willis would be “stepping away” from his acting career due to an aphasia diagnosis. It was later announced that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia or FTD.

While at the “Landman” premiere, Thornton told Fox News Digital about the challenges he faced when filming in Texas for the show.

“We started in extreme cold, and we were freezing to death the first couple of months. Even inside, because you can’t run heaters while you’re shooting,” Thornton explained.

“By the time we’re done, it was boiling heat. Now, boiling heat is not that bad… I grew up in Arkansas… but I’ve been in California since 1980. So, my blood is very thin now.,” he said with a smile.

“When you’re trying to deliver a three-page monologue in 100-degree heat, and you feel like you might just pass out any minute, it ain’t easy. But I can’t complain. I mean… I provide a living for my family by doing something that I love… I work with people that I love and adore. So, no complaints.”

Randolph went on to describe her “Landman” experience as “special.”

“We really all became a family… You’re stuck in Texas for five months with people who you’re… seeing at like all hours of the day and all emotional… You’re just experiencing so much with so many people. It was really special.”

PPG em Letras promove seminário para discutir internacionalização — Universidade Federal do Acre

PUBLICADO

2026.09.18 Seminário PPGLI (2).jpg

O programa de pós-graduação em Letras: Linguagem e Identidade (PPGLI), da Ufac, realizou seminário para compartilhamento de experiências de internacionalização de seu curso de doutorado e apresentação dos relatórios de estágio e relatos de vivência de cinco doutorandas que retornaram de universidades no exterior. O evento ocorreu na sexta-feira, 18, no auditório do Bloco dos Mestrados, campus-sede.

Professores e estudantes discutiram a consolidação da política de internacionalização do PPGLI, visando à busca pela nota de excelência acadêmica junto à Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). A avaliação da pós-graduação no país varia em uma escala de 1 a 7, na qual os extratos 6 e 7 representam programas de nível internacional.

As cinco doutorandas realizaram intercâmbios de pesquisa em instituições de referência na Europa e na América Latina, abrangendo universidades de Portugal, da França, do México e do Chile. O coordenador do PPGLI, Gerson Albuquerque, disse que isso consolida a produção bibliográfica e técnica em esfera global, incentivando outros alunos a perseguirem o estágio no exterior.

“Para alcançar a excelência, exige-se maturidade temporal, que completaremos em 2027 com oito anos de formação de doutores e uma inserção internacional consolidada”, acrescentou. “O doutorado sanduíche é fundamental para o amadurecimento intelectual dos pesquisadores e para a celebração de convênios que promovam a mobilidade docente e discente.”

A professora e pesquisadora Raquel Ishii ressaltou que a internacionalização do PPGLI dialoga diretamente com as características territoriais e culturais da Amazônia Sul-Ocidental. “Nosso programa atua fortemente com literatura, oralidade e a pluralidade linguística da região, que abriga 16 povos indígenas. Internacionalizar e nacionalizar a produção acadêmica feita no Acre fortalece a agenda científica nacional sobre a diversidade cultural e linguística amazônica.”
