Is the Deadwood movie happening or not? Recently, star Timothy Olyphant discussed the possibility of a reunion for the HBO TV show, Deadline reports.
As reported earlier, creator David Milch has already finished the script for the Western drama’s follow-up film. The HBO series, which ended in 2006 after three seasons, starred Timothy Olyphant, Ian McShane, Molly Parker, Jim Beaver, W. Earl Brown, Kim Dickens, Brad Dourif, and John Hawkes.
During a recent radio interview, Olyphant said he’s unsure if the logistics will work out to shoot HBO’s Deadwood reunion movie:
It’s very hard to get people together for a barbecue that lasts an afternoon, let alone to get everyone together for a production that lasts a month or two.”
Earlier, HBO president Casey Bloys said he’d like production on the Deadwood movie to begin this fall. Nothing official has been announced, though.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Deadwood? Would you watch the reunion movie?
I am a fan of Deadwood but I’m not understanding why a Movie and why not just bring back Deadwood period. I will wait for additional updates to see where it goes
With David Milch writing it and anything more than 50-60% of the original cast members it would still be a pleasure to see. As long as Ian McShane is back and central to the plotline, it’ll be quite enough for most die-hard Deadwood fans like myself. I’m hoping this really gets done.
PLEASE MAKE THIS MOVIE! And no offense, but Timothy Olyphant is the LEAST important person to worry about: if it was made with a new sheriff it would not only be historically accurate but fine with me: it’s all about everybody else!
Seth Bullock is not only a real character but played a very important role historically in Deadwood also he was sheriff of the town at the time David Milch’s Deadwood movie takes place. Also Timothy Olyphant only said according to this article he didn’t think the movie will happen never saw anything about him saying not playing the part again. I’ve watched Deadwood since it aired and followed the broken promises HBO has already made especially right after they cancelled Deadwood in 2006 saying they’d wrap it up with a 2 movies. Never happened and the longer it takes to… Read more »
Please find a way for this movie to be made. This cast is amazing to watch. Come on Olyphant don’t be skeptical, anything’s possible
Absolutely! I know others who would like to see a movie, too. We’d have a watch party, for sure.
I would love to see deadwood return to HBO. Its one of their better shows that I was heartbroken when HBO discontinued it. c’mon HBO bring deadwood back.
Really miss Deadwood. A final wrap up would be great!
great program……i’d like to see it come about
I want them to film the finale to deadwood. I’ve watched the 3 seasons several times. I bought the complete series for myself and one for each of my 3 sons.
