Kate Aurthur editorSterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi — the co-creators of “Reservation Dogs” — met in the mid-aughts, and though Harjo is from Oklahoma and Waititi grew up in New Zealand, they immediately bonded over their shared experiences as Indigenous filmmakers. As Waititi’s star rose, the two remained friends, but “I never talked to him about work,” Harjo said.
“I mean, enough people I think are trying to get stuff from Taika, so we just kept it as friendship.”That changed a few years ago, though, when Waititi mentioned to Harjo that he had an overall deal with FX, were Harjo to have any ideas for a show. “That’s sort of all I needed to hear,” Harjo said with a laugh during a video interview for Variety’s Showrunners Sitdown with Kate Aurthur presented by FX.
Their ideas for what would eventually be the series “Reservation Dogs,” which premiered on FX last August, were different, with Waititi wanting to create “more of a vigilante sort of like Batman” in the form of a Maori kid and Harjo leaning toward a “Stand by Me”-type about kids getting bullied. “We took these two ideas and just sort of shook them up,” Harjo said.“Reservation Dogs” is shot in Oklahoma, which Harjo insisted upon after FX had initially suggested it be produced out of New Mexico.
“I told my agents that I didn’t want to do that — I wouldn’t want to do the show, or I would rewrite the show,” Harjo said. “And to everyone’s surprise, I said that.”There was a reason Harjo felt strongly about the setting, and not only because it’s where he grew up.
“Whenever you’re making a show about Indigenous people, there’s so much history of land displacement,” he said. “We were brought here on the trail of tears from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and we were

Ready to release a Marvel movie (“Thor: Love & Thunder”), writing a “Star Wars” movie, acting in and overseeing HBO’s “Our Flag Means Death,” executive producing FX’s “What We Do In The Shadows,” and more that gets added all the time, Taika Waiti is hyper-busy. He’s so busy that he even directed a little indie movie that everyone has forgotten and has been sitting on the shelf for two years.

When Taika Waititi began working with David Jenkins on the HBO Max series “Our Flag Means Death,” he knew he’d eventually want to play one of the main characters. Hopeful that Waititi would eventually be down for it, Jenkins wrote the show’s version of the legendary pirate Blackbeard with the Oscar-winner in mind.
It’s always nice to see a series based on a movie really take off and become its own thing, find its own voice, and discover its own sea legs. And FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows,” based on the feature film of the same name by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, has certainly down that.
Simon Cowell has issued an emotional statement after an X Factor star's fiancee tragically passed away. Tom Mann, who was in boy band Stereo Kicks, said goodbye to Daniella Hampson last Saturday - the same day the couple had been due to marry.
Natalie Portman packed on so much muscle she could arm-wrestle Captain America. It’s that she’d never been asked to do it before.Throughout her 30-year career, Portman has grown accustomed to exploiting her lean five-foot-three frame, most memorably in her Oscar-winning performance as an obsessive, spindle-thin ballet dancer in 2010’s “Black Swan.” As the brilliant astrophysicist Jane Foster in 2011’s “Thor” and 2013’s “Thor: The Dark World,” she spends much of her screen time in varying states of dewy-eyed peril or with her head craned at a substantial angle to pine after Chris Hemsworth’s towering Asgardian warrior.When Portman returns as Jane on July 8 in director Taika Waititi’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” however, the 41-year-old will not only be playing a superhero in her own right — the Mighty Thor, Jane’s persona once she comes into possession of the mystical hammer Mjolnir — but one who can stand toe-to-toe, and nearly eye-to-eye, with Hemsworth’s Thor.

Scott Huver “Native humor can be dark and raunchy — and it’s weird,” says Tazbah Chavez, a writer, producer and director on “Reservation Dogs,” the off-kilter show that follows Native teenagers navigating their community in rural Oklahoma. The quirky, often bittersweet series is both goofy and sublime, and the comedy-drama’s first season has already garnered two Independent Spirit Awards, a Peabody Award, a Gotham Award, an American Film Institute Award and Television Academy Honors. Created by writer-director Sterlin Harjo, a Seminole and Muscogee Creek filmmaker from Oklahoma, and New Zealand-born filmmaker Taika Waititi, the pair of friends share an interest in mining their respective Indigenous cultures for funny, moving stories. Executive producer Garrett Basch understood their friendship dynamic and nuanced cultural backgrounds well, playing an instrumental role in the development of the series and encouraging the co-creators to take “Reservation Dogs” where they believed it needed to go. “The reason the show is successful is that we were trusted and allowed to go as far and hard as we needed to,” says Harjo.
