Texas Rising

History 6& May 25-2 15 & June 1, 8

An Amazing Cast Helps Tell An Emotionally Rich Story About Love And War. By Barb Oates The enormity of the talent involved in History’s exhilarating new historical drama, Texas Rising, was more than evident as Bill Paxton, Olivier Martinez, Ray Liotta, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Roland Joffé walked into a hotel cottage in Pasadena to talk to us about the five night, 10-hour miniseries.

The miniseries is from the producers of Hatfields & McCoys and tells the brutal and heartbreaking stories of the men who fought for an independent Texas following the Mexican siege of the Alamo in 1836. Directing this cinematic masterpiece is Joffé, best known for his Oscar-nominated work on The Killing Fields and The Mission. “It’s not dry politicking and dry war,” Joffé tells. “It’s really about people in periods of great tension and struggle, trying to work out who they are and what they do. There’s a lot of emotion and love in the story, as well as violence.”

Paxton is beyond passionate about this project and leads the cast playing Sam Houston, the leader of the Texas Revolution. Paxton discerns Houston as a man looking for reinvention and redemption when he headed off to Texas to eventually lead the crusade against the powerful Mexican general Santa Anna. “Texas was a new start, a new chance to kind of reinvent himself. It was kind of all or nothing. ... He’s put into a very tough situation because he doesn’t have an army. He’s got these volunteers, they don’t know how to drill or form a battle line, or any of this stuff. … He’s besieged, not just with a very formidable foe, but he has dissension in the ranks.”
