SoFlaJets Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 HBO Confirms Early Talks of ‘Deadwood’ Movie EMAILPRINT 2TALK AUGUST 12, 2015 | 09:52PM PT Stuart Oldham Editor, Variety.com@s_oldham Is “Deadwood” about to return from the dead? A spokesman for HBO confirmed to Variety that “very preliminary discussions” have been made to resurrect the Western series with a movie, though it’s unclear how serious the premium channel is about the pic. Actor Garret Dillahunt, who played Francis Wilcott on the series that ran from 2004-06, ignited the chatter Wednesday when he tweeted: “So uh….I’m hearing credible rumors about a #Deadwood movie.” “Come on HBO,” he wrote. “You made the ‘Entourage’ movie. Give the #Deadwood fans some closure.” Despite the overture, fans of the Emmy-winning drama know not to hop in the saddle just yet. HBO previously announced two “Deadwood” movies when it officially cancelled the show in 2008, but nothing ever came of them. Creator David Milch was also said to be offered a shorter fourth season of the series but quickly rejected the idea. Still, Hollywood loves a comeback story and Milch, himself, has hinted at the possibility of a revival. “I don’t know that the last word has been said on the subject,” he told Esquire in 2011. “I still nourish the hope that we’re going to get to do a little more work in that area.” “Deadwood,” which starred Ian McShane as merciless saloon owner Al Swearengen, ran for three seasons before abruptly ending its run. The acclaimed drama also starred Timothy Olyphant, Molly Parker, and Brad Douriff, and is widely considered to be one of HBO’s best original series alongside “The Wire” and “The Sopranos.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Just watched this series for the first time, didn't know that the season was just cancelled with no ending. Hopefully this gets done but I am doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 For those who haven't seen the show, this scene with the main villain (one of the best villains ever on tv) perfectly shows the craziness of the series. It is a youtube video but definitely NSFW because of language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqMWBpwXX80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
