'I wanted kids to have a hero, a great western hero to believe in.'
The Big Picture You only need to spend mere seconds with Martin Kove to pick up on the fact that he’s one of the biggest western fans on the planet. He watches them, has been in them, and even effectively infuses his non-western characters with qualities from the genre. On top of that, Kove is driven to share that passion with others and broaden the genre’s fanbase, and he’s doing just that via a western of his own, a project that he’s working on with his son, Jesse Kove.
PERRI NEMIROFF: The last time Collider covered Prodigal Son was at New York Comic Con last year. Can you run through what's happened from October 2022 to now? And there's a woman in this story too, and she really evolved. Very much like Emily Blunt’s character in a recent series. Emily Blunt was brilliant by the last few episodes. At the beginning, you thought she was just a sophisticated English woman riding horses with a Native American in the old West, and then she turns out to be as good as a gunfighter, you know? As good as Crazy Horse of the Sioux with the bow and arrow, with spears. It's quite interesting to see the transition.
JESSE KOVE: Through the Kickstarter we wanna build a fan base as well, and we want them to engage directly with us and get the IP up there. But the next phase I think would be seeing what else it can turn into, like we were talking about a series, you know, the next phase of where Prodigal Son will go. It's also like my dad's love letter to the western, and the west.
MARTIN KOVE: You see, the partners, they're terrific. We have partners in Chris [Lemole] and Tim [Zajaros], and Don. Don Handfield has done several comic books, and he's a writer.
It's like an actor doing your homework. You do your homework by doing backstories and going between the lines in a script and creating your character in a more interesting fashion. That's what working with a writer was like in a genre that I thought nobody knows more about it than me, you know? And I learned this cat applied the basics of screenplay writing to these characters that I thought were well-rounded already.
