Deadwood

I'd think one of the stumbling blocks for a potential movie, in terms of coordinating scheduling, is that a lot of the people whose careers have taken off post-Deadwood are still working in television. P.S. I coordinate scheduling for the Hollywood movies, if it isn't clear that I know exactly what I'm talking about.

yeah well my uncle works for nintendo!!!

j/k

i'm super happy all of these people got big after that show. as a lover of actors it's almost consolation if a finale can't get made

I did not know ian mcshane had been in stuff since btw

but has he been in anything worthy of his talent?

i'm still holding out hope he'll pop up in the new Tarantino

mcshane did Pinter on Broadway

you know, next to which tarantino is horseshit on boots

also he's joining that elves n' fairies HBO show that i will never see

hearing stories from the actors about what a nightmare it was just in terms of actually working, i dunno if this will get off the ground. to be clear: they all seem to love the show & milch, but practically he is nuts.

idk how on earth a movie wouldnt turn into heaven's gate crazytown

I think the big roadblock to this is that they struck and sold-off their enormous and incredibly expensive sets back in 06, not sure hbo would really want to recreate them for some two hour decade-late wrap-up

Maybe for the movie the whole Deadwood gang could move into an apartment building in NYC, have a hot-headed landlord and wacky neighbors, the whole nine. Much lower production costs, for sure.

do it von trier-style without sets

feeding corpses to the unseen pigs just aint the same

I did not know ian mcshane had been in stuff since btw

TONS of stuff actually, almost universally garbage (film/TV-wise)

eg John Wick

the current season of Ray Donovan as well, that is some garbage

I only ever watched the pilot of that, 'twas awful

John Wick was not garbage >:(

they should bring back lovejoy, forget this prestige bs

lol he probably wouldn't turn it down

McShane was mostly in garbage before Deadwood as well

it's just slightly higher profile garbage now

I wonder how Deadwood woulda panned out if Milch got Ed O'Neill like he originally wanted

Glad Morbs's Tarantino Tourette's lives on.

ehhhh... as a fun, i'd take any deadwood stuff they had to offer, but i really can't see it working as a movie. what made the show so great was all the slow-building connivery and shifting of character relations. it would be super rushed in a movie.

He was in Scoop. Might be my favorite Woody Allen. (I hate Woody Allen. Have seen very little. The pathetic weirdness of Scoop is at least kinda interesting.)

I remember the thing from late 70s/possibly early 80s where he played a neonazi robbing a bank by going through the Parisian sewers.
Am I thinking right that he has a minor role in Battle of Britain as one of the RAF pilots?
I used to like Lovejoy.

My big takeaway from this development is that there's still no script. Don't hold your breath.

its hard not to hope that its real this time, but i'm hardly optimistic

"He pitched what he thought generally the storyline would be — and knowing David, that could change. But it’s going to happen.”

an appropriately swearengen-esque grammatic flow to this

Crossing my fingers that no horses used in the production die before this airs.

good thing they waited until half the cast are major stars (well that prob helped in some way too idk)

they are?

Kristen Bell's ghost cameo is gonna be 'spensive, for sure.

damn i try to put that scene out of my mind whenever i think about it

Yeah, it was brutal.

no one in the cast has gotten prohibitively famous. I'd have thought Olyphant might but I guess he missed that boat when he lost out on Iron Man

i forgot that anna gunn played olyphant's wife in deadwood.

would be psyched for this.

better hurry while McShane is still nimble

McShane was anything but nimble for the majority of a season of the original series.

AFAIK of the surviving cast of characters there's only one who definitely won't be returning

rip

breathing, then xp

His inert portrayal of a dead Swearingen would probably still be pretty damn compelling.

Weekend With Swearengen

considering this latest round of hope started w/ garrett dillahunt i do hope they find some way to work him in again

swingen looked pretty nimble in john wick

swearengen didn't do much except sit at a desk and walk around and occasionally slap around/stab a flunky, i think mcshane can pull it off with ease.

it mcshane can do an episode or two of game of thrones he can easily put on a dusty suit and call a guy cocksucker

had the newspaperman already been busted for kiddie porn when Deadwood was shooting or did that come later?

jeezus you ppl have all the dirt

jeffrey jones got busted for kiddie porn well before deadwood
