"Landman," directed by Taylor Sheridan, will be premiered from a Montana ranch to West Texas oil rigs, providing "Yellowstone" fans with a treat.

Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore shared the screen once again, and the Hollywood actor revealed that he has maintained a good relationship with his co-star and her family, including ex-husband Bruce Willis, throughout the years.

"Moore has always been a sweetheart, Thornton stated. He praised her kindness towards him when he first met her, despite having only two scenes in a movie she starred in. Moore remains just as sweet today as she was then."

"Bruce and I have always been very close, having worked together on three movies. Demi would often bring her kids to visit the set, making our bond feel like family. She's truly awesome."

Willis and Moore have three daughters in common, namely Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah.

In March 2022, it was announced that Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia or FTD, which led him to "step away" from his acting career.

At the "Landman" premiere, Thornton discussed the difficulties he encountered while filming the show in Texas with Planet Chronicle Digital.

Thornton explained that we began in extreme cold and were freezing to death during the first few months, even indoors because running heaters is not possible while shooting.

"By the time we finished, it was boiling hot. Although boiling heat isn't so bad, I grew up in Arkansas. However, I've been in California since 1980, so my blood is now very thin," he said with a grin.

Billy Bob Thornton, the star of 'Landman,' claims that Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, and their children are like family to him.

"Delivering a three-page monologue in 100-degree heat while feeling like you might pass out any minute is not easy. However, I can't complain because I provide a living for my family by doing something that I love and work with people that I love and adore."

"Landman," Sheridan's new show, is set in West Texas and centers on roughnecks and billionaires trying to make a fortune in the oil industry as oil rigs take over the Lone Star State. The series is based on the popular "Boomtown" podcast.

"Michelle Randolph, the actress who plays "Landman" in the TV series, revealed to Planet Chronicle Digital that she and her co-stars, including Moore and Thornton, formed a close bond and became like family during filming."

"Moore and Thornton are exceptional because they genuinely love what they do and have been in the business for a long time," she said. "Their passion inspires me and I feel grateful to have worked with them."

Randolph described his "Landman" experience as unique.

"Becoming a family was truly special as we spent five months together in Texas, constantly interacting with one another at all hours of the day and experiencing a range of emotions. Despite the challenges, it was an unforgettable experience."

The Paramount+ series "Landman" premieres Nov. 16.
