Graham Yost

FX announced yesterday that it’s picking up “Lawman,” a modern-day Western starring Timothy Olyphant and developed/written by Graham Yost (who is best known for Speed and Boomtown, but whom I always think of as the son of the Saturday Night at the Movies guy). It’s the first series to be based on an Elmore Leonard character since Karen Sisco, which was one of my favourite flops of the last decade.
