HBO Loves The Script For The DEADWOOD Movie

Here is some promising news for all you Deadwood fans. HBO Original Programming chief Casey Bloys told a group of reporters today that he had read and was impressed by a script written by series creator David Milch. Bloys said he wanted to see that a movie version of Deadwood would be accessible to viewers who have not seen the original series.

“I wanted a script that would stand on its own … I’m happy to say that David totally delivered on that. It’s a terrific script, If we can do it for a budget that makes sense for us, if we can find a director and we can get the cast together — it’s no easy task — we’re inclined to do it."

Fans have been wanting a Deadwood movie ever since the idea was suggested by HBO after the original show was canceled amid some behind-the-scenes strife.

Deadwood, starred Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, Molly Parker and John Hawkes.

What do you think, do you want a movie that would wrap things from the series up, or would you rather have something that would stand on its own?
