Kevin Costner's lawyers slam "ridiculous" reports concerning the actor's work ethics during the filming of the successful television program Yellowstone . According to anonymous sources that speak to Deadline , Costner wanted to give the second half of season 5 a fraction of the time he made at first half; reports that his team calls an "absolute lie". "We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a large part of Yellowstone And we hope this is the case for a long time, "said a spokesperson for Paramount Network. Here is exactly what the sources say .

Plan conflicts on the Ranch?

Costner, 68, plays the character of John Dutton on the acclaimed Western drama, the patriarch of the Dutton clan and the chief of the Yellowstone ranch. As such, it is obviously a crucial part of the show. According Deadline , Costner only wanted to shoot for 50 days for the first part of season 5 and only a week for the second half to come, which would have caused morale problems with his Costars.

Marty Singer Slams Reports
