Dances with wolves Dances With Wolves Dances With Wolves is a western - a rather obvious statement, but its director, Kevin Costner, has created something far removed from the popular western of the 50's and 60's. Westerns have not been a fashionable genre for some time, so Costner had problems getting his project off the ground in the first place as it proved to be something the film industry was not too keen to back. Together with his co-producer, Jim Wilson, Costner decided that the book written by a friend, Michael Blake, was the story he wanted to use to make the first feature for their film company, TIG Productions. As the genre was not considered to be one which would bring box office success, Costner had to provide the funds for the development of the script until financial backing could be found. In fact, the film, about the American West, ended up partly funded by a British backer, Majestic Films International, who made a basic deal including the foreign sales rights. It was only after striking this deal that Costner was able to approach a US studio, Orion Pictures, (the original deal with Island Pictures having fallen through) , who agreed to split film, indians, john, indian, buffalo, dunbar, costner, shots, close, narrative, john's, fort, first, wolves, soldier, sedgewick, between, white, western, way, time, stands, soldiers, pawnee, particularly, one, fist, editing, dances, audience, until, through, threat, takes, sequence, relationship, off, man, kicking, important, horse, end, character, being, after, action, uniform, two, something, socks
