Michelle Pfeiffer recounts experience of filming The Madison
The Madison, which was filmed in Montana, came with several inconveniences. This is according to series star Michelle Pfeiffer, one of Hollywood’s most recognizable actresses.
During her appearance on the Los Angeles Times’ In Conversation podcastPfeiffer discussed the major challenges involved in filming The Madison.
“It was all a little bit rushed for everyone, and so there weren’t certain accommodations set up,” she said about the shoot. “There is no bathroom, even the outhouse is not real. So there’s no AC, there’s no plumbing, there isn’t anything. But it is breathtakingly glorious.”
The actress continued, “We didn’t really have trailers there, because they were shooting 360, so they couldn’t have a bunch of trailers around. So there’s really no place for us to sit. There was no bathroom nearby. There was no food. And in the winter, it was cold. It was like, ‘Could we have a heater?’ And in the summer, it was like, ‘Could I get an umbrella because the sun’s really intense?’”
Helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Taylor Sheridan, The Madison follows the Clyburn family. They were originally from New York City. They relocated to the Madison River Valley in southwest Montana after a life-changing tragedy.
“A heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River Valley of Central Montana,” the synopsis of the series reads.
The series also stars Kurt Russell, Beau Garrett, Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, and Matthew Fox alongside Pfeiffer.
The series has already been renewed for a second and third season at Paramount+.
