Texasville is a 1990 American drama film written and directed by Peter Bogdanovich.

Based on the 1987 novel Texasville by Larry McMurtry, it is a sequel to The Last Picture Show (1971), and features Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Cloris Leachman, Timothy Bottoms, Randy Quaid, and Eileen Brennan reprising their roles from the original film.

In 1984, 33 years after the events depicted in The Last Picture Show, 50-year-old Duane Jackson (Bridges) is a wealthy tycoon of a near-bankrupt oil company.

His wife, Karla (Annie Potts), believes that Duane is cheating on her, and his son, Dickie (William McNamara), seems to be following in his father's libidinous footsteps.

Ruth Popper (Cloris Leachman) works as Duane's secretary, and despondent Lester Marlow (Quaid), now a businessman, seems a prime candidate for a business crisis, a heart attack, or both.

Sonny Crawford's (Bottoms) increasingly erratic behaviour causes Duane concern over his mental health.

"[6] "It seemed to me impossible to turn my back on something that was in a way personal to me," he said, "because certainly Larry had to have been influenced in the writing of Texasville by the movie.

[8] In July 1987, Bogdanovich said they were discussing the film with several studios and planned to make the movie during a Moonlighting hiatus.

[11] In October 1988, Bogdanovich was discussing the project with the original stars of Picture Show and said he was hopeful for the sequel to go ahead.

[12] Bogdanovich said he asked McMurtry to help him with the script "but he was too busy writing novels.

[14] The author said he and Bogdanovich had "various loud fallings-out" during the making of the movie and they did not talk again until the premiere of The Evening Star.

[15] Bogdanovich said that a few companies, including Carolco Pictures, had expressed interest in the movie but "There certainly was some reluctance in this town about this project.

"The bad taste that the movie left for some folks, that's gone now," said the high-school principal, Nat Lunn.

"[21] He added the film was "more chaotic, less structured, more fragmented, more insane, more desperate [than Picture Show].

I needed weight for the age factor and for the shape he would be in after the kind of food he must have been eating.

"[23] Annie Potts was filming episodes of Designing Women during the shoot and had to commute from Los Angeles to the location every week.

"The most difficult thing about filming Texasville was confronting everything that has happened in my own life," Bogdanovich said.

"I expected my own ghost to walk around the corner and say, 'Hey, things have changed since you were 31, haven't they, bub?

"It took a great deal of trouble to get the video rights for the 28 songs that are in The Last Picture Show," Bogdanovich said.

"[25] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 59% from 27 reviews with the critic consensus: "An impressive array of talent on either side of the camera helps compensate for Texasville's inability to live up to its classic predecessor, but it isn't quite enough.

Excellent acting from Cybill Shepherd (whose part should have been bigger), Tim Bottoms, Jeff Bridges and Annie Potts.

The magazine felt Picture This, the documentary about the making of the movie, was "everything Texasville is not—brilliantly evocative of a place (love those whining cowboys who want to be in the movie), memorable characters (Larry McMurtry’s worried mother, the original inspiration for Jacy, cuckolded Polly Platt, tormented Bogdanovich, awkward Tim Bottoms), and true drama (returning to the scene of a film where so much happened).

"[30] In 1992, Bogdanovich recut the film for the Movie Channel so it ran 28 minutes longer.
