It sounds like there’s life after cancellation for Magic City. The Starz TV show is being revived as movie, reports Deadline.
Mitch Glazer created the period mob series and wrote the film script. He will also direct. Series regulars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Danny Huston, Olga Kurylenko and Kelly Lynch are said to be returning and will be joined by Bruce Willis and Bill Murray.
QED’s Bill Block said, “Mitch is a fantastic creative partner and we’re thrilled to collaborate with him again. We loved Magic City the series and know that with Mitch’s sensational script and this outstanding cast, it will translate beautifully to the big screen.”
Glazer noted, “The chance to explore this wild time and place and this compelling family saga is a dream come true.”
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Do you plan to see the Magic City movie?
The series should remain on Starz if they want to keep ratings up. They should not make a movie because more people want the flexibility to watch at their convenience which is why people watch Starz on their Smart TV.
Why Bill Murray and Bruce Willis? Please leave them out and keep original cast. They will just ruin the whole story and magic from the official Magic City cast.
Love this series and keep hoping the feature film will come out. There’s something magical about Miami during the 50’s and 60’s….
Loved the show please bring back

This, in my opinion , this was one of the best series produced in the block of original storylines. I am thoroughly disappointed and saddened upon learning that Starz has chosen not to renew “Magic City” for another season. The storyline and acting were superb with enough action, romance and excitement to entice any audience. I am heartened by the fact that a movie is now in the works with (hopefully) the entire cast as well as added star power Bruce Willis and Bill Murray.
Oh yes! I do… I am absolutely engaged to each of the characters and certainly plan to see the movie many times as I now continue to enjoy the Magic City dvd I received for my birthday over and over again and although it was cancelled it provided a comprehensive study of family dynamics much akin to the Godfather Saga and there is no question that Jeffery Dean Morgan has the command of the screen to lead us into an incredible journey further into the intricacies of such a tormented era of such revolutionary change in society with a growing… Read more »
So bummed it’s over ! Binged on Netflix! Maybe they could pick it up!
Loved the series, hated to see it cancelled. A movie would be the next best thing to renewing the series, but it should on TV where the series was. Make it an HBO movie!
