Deadwood movie is happening

[Punt]

I loved Deadwood.

Al Swearengen's language was awesome!

I sort of hope this will be a HBO tv movie with the original cast. If they go for a theatrical release, they'll have to re-introduce the characters for those who didn't watch the tv show. This is of course, just my opinion!

Deadwood was great.....is it on any streaming services at the moment?

 

[Uther]

Oh yes, I absolutely loved this show, sadly cancelled after three seasons back in 2006.
The most profane show ever apparently

I listened to an interview with Ian McShane on the Nerdist podcast (Chris Hardwick) and Ian said he reads stuff like this every year and he always calls 'Tim'(othy Olyphant) to see if he knows anything about it; and it always ends up neither of them having heard anything real about it happening- so I won't be holding my breath

was a great show i was gutted it got cancelled.

 

[Haze]

I really like the series, wont hold my breath for a good film just yet

 

[robfosters]

Will never understand why it was cancelled. It was epic TV.

 

[Glanza]

Someone break out the canned peaches!

Been looking forward to this since I binged the show.

one of the best shows ever, total travesty that it was cancelled and even more of a travesty that they didn't admit to their mistake and relaunch it sooner. as above, i've been hearing rumours like this for a coupel years now, and i think it's true [as far as i can determine] that Milch has been working on a script, but beyond that it seems a bit ambiguous - one thing i read from Ian was him saying he didn't want to do anything that might sully the characters or the memories, and returning to the character now he's a decade older might not work as well.
way back, i was dying for them to bring it back, but now i'm a bit leery - so many other things have been resurrected and not been worthy.


Edit - if nowt else, i hope any new product prompts a reissue of the previous seasons on Bluray. I've got them all on DVD but want to upgrade, but the options on Amazon seem to be limited to foreign single seasons, a hugely expensive US box set, or reasonably-priced box sets that seem to be plagued by sound issues :-/

More rumours of a movie... https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/25/17614382/hbo-deadwood-movie-greenlight

PLEASEEEEEEEE let it happen! I do however fear that they left it too long to capture the feel of the original. Such a shame...

 

[wolfie138]

i want to know how many of the original cast are attached.

 

[robfosters]

Can’t wait for this. Deadwood is in my top five fave shows ever.

Sadly, Powers Boothe died, so no Cy Tolliver. Boothe is actually buried in a town called Deadwood, in Texas. True story.

Just within the few years that have passed and the way political correctness and gender equality and all that **** has exploded, I wonder if this will a) ever get made and b) ever resemble anything close to the original

 

[dowie]

This would be pretty awesome, while I don't think it is as good as the Wire, the Sopranos or Love Island it is up there as a solid TV show and I've always been a fan of Ian McShane

 

[slackrob]

I'll watch it(if it ever gets made), the series was great.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Just when you thought the Irish duo was forgotten about they go and make a film about them. . .

 

[SixTwoSix]

Almost 3 years after I started the thread, some cast photos and apparently been shooting for about a month...

[Uther]

Brilliant, one of the best series ever made. Hope they don't **** it up!

 

[Participant]

My second favourite series ever behind The Wire. Third being Breaking Bad for the record.

Hope it's good but not sure how the long character development style will translate into a film.

 

[LizardKing]

Finally! Deadwood is certainly one of the greats, I just hope they don't subdue its grittier side!
