RELATED STORIES

At long last… f—ing closure. Thirteen years after HBO erased Deadwood from the map, the acclaimed Western came galloping back onto the television landscape Friday night with a two-hour movie that aimed to do the near-impossible: bring to a satisfying conclusion a drama that was as well-loved as it was short-lived. And as far as this longtime fan was concerned, it succeeded… somewhat.

Written by series creator David Milch and directed by Daniel Minahan, Deadwood: The Movie picked up in 1889 as the titular town was celebrating South Dakota’s statehood. Along for the ride were nearly all of the show’s MVPs, which sounds swell but proved to be a curse as well as a blessing. On one hand, sure, it was a thrill to see our favorites back in the saddle again. How could it not be? On the other, since this was a movie, not a miniseries, there wasn’t time for all of them to be properly serviced. As a result, Deadwood occasionally felt so overpopulated that it was tougher than it should have been to invest in any single character arc.

That said, Milch and Minahan did manage to give most of their principals a nice moment or two. And, as one would hope, the film’s focus was Al, Seth and Trixie, who were brought back to life so seamlessly by Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant and Paula Malcomson, you’d have sworn they hadn’t spent a day out of their alter egos’ boots. Robin Weigert also shone in a big way. As the movie began, her scene-stealing Calamity Jane vowed to make things right with her beloved Joanie Stubbs, and by God, by the time it was over, she’d done exactly that.

As for the main plot, it was set in motion by Gerald McRaney’s now-Senator George Hearst. Hellbent on dragging Deadwood into modern times, the Big Bad was eyeing Charlie Utter’s land for development when he was reminded of an old, unsettled score with Trixie and Al involving his attempted murder and its subsequent cover-up. Now, if that sounds like kind of a flimsy conflict off of which to hang a movie… um… it was; the stakes felt… let’s say… minimal. But it did pit Hearst against not only Trixie and Al but lawman Seth, who despite having made peace with his safe, simple life with Martha (Anna Gunn) still carried a torch for Alma (the ageless Molly Parker). But I digress…

After Hearst went from coveting Charlie’s land to murdering him, the villain’s status as the town’s Public Enemy No. 1 was cemented. Yet, when given the opportunity to watch the scoundrel die, Seth instead showed him mercy and merely arrested him.

deadwood-the-movie-recap-al-diesMeanwhile, decades of hard drinking had destroyed Al’s liver, rendering him a shell of his former self, at least physically. He was still Al, mind you, just a mellower, more introspective Al. He was (thankfully!) still spitting out expletives like the only words he knew were four-letter ones. And while he still loved Trixie, he appeared to be happy to see her settle down and start a family with trusty Sol.

Yes, the movie played host to both Trixie and Sol’s wedding and the slightly unbelievable birth of their child. But I’m willing to overlook the unlikeliness of a woman Trixie’s age giving birth because the scenario gave Malcomson some of the film’s liveliest moments. And, as she hinted to TVLine last year, the film felt very much like a love letter to Al and Trixie, right up until the end when, with her by his side, he drew what was presumably his last breath.

Was it everything that a Deadwood fan could want? No, and it couldn’t have been, because we didn’t just want more, we wanted a s— ton more. It was, however, probably what we needed. What do you think? Were you happy with Deadwood’s ending? Was the movie worth the wait? Grade it in the poll below, then hit the comments.

Not that he was planning to share that with the show’s producers if they asked. Thankfully, they didn’t.

keith-carradine-deadwood-dexter-photos“The conversation never came up,” the Madam Secretary star recalls. “And if it had, I’m sure at that point, I would’ve lied through my teeth!”

On the day of the shoot, “They wanted me to canter up to this scene,” he says. “I remember that there was a lot of air under my butt on that ride-up.” He laughs. “They had a double come in and do the long-distance stuff for me. I was kind of chagrinned by that, and I made it a point from that moment on: I said, ‘I’m going to become a decent horseman so the next time I’m given this opportunity, I’m not going to look like such a bozo.’”

The work paid off: Bonanza was far from the last time Carradine would be called upon to mount a steed in his nearly 50-year, self-described “eclectic” TV career. Ahead of his stint as Turner Classic Movies guest programmer Monday — his selections start at 8/7c with Captains Courageous — TVLine got the veteran actor to reflect on a selection of his small-screen gigs.

“The Maestro has topped himself,” Deadwood vet W. Earl Brown says of series creator David Milch’s final script for the long-awaited, recently greenlit HBO revival movie.

Over the course of the two-hour script, “my emotions ricocheted in every [f–king] direction,” Brown — who plays Dan Dority, Al Swearengen’s right-hand man — said across a series of tweets on Wednesday. “Exhilaration to melancholy; hoots of joy to screams of despair.”

“Milch’s words are like a scrumptious meal,” he continued, “the complexity of its flavors is something to savor.”

Brown said that Milch’s final draft is akin to a previous version he read a year-and-a-half ago, but “the complexities of the relationships, the emotional peaks and depths, are all sharpened to a razor fine edge.

“It’s gut wrenching,” he added.

Fielding a few questions from fans who follow his Twitter feed, Brown said that the movie is set 10 years after the events of Season 3, which wrapped in 2006. Production is set to start on Oct. 5, with an eye on a spring 2019 premiere.

As for the absence of series vet Powers Boothe, who played saloon owner/Swearengen rival Cy Tolliver and passed away in May 2017, “I can’t tell you” how it is handled, Brown said. “But I will say, his absence is not ignored.” He then noted, “There is no recasting of any roles” for the long-gestating reunion project.

Breaking news: Timothy Olyphant is a damn liar. Mere days after Mr. Olyphant broke our hearts and claimed the Deadwood movie had no chance of happening, word comes that HBO might start shooting the film as soon as October. We’re onto you, Olyphant.

Here’s some good news for a change! The Deadwood movie might start shooting in October! Deadline reports that the Deadwood movie just received a $ 4.195 million California tax incentive. As Deadline puts reveals, “According to the California Film Commission regulations, a film or a TV series generally has to start principal photography within 180 days of being approved for a tax credit in order to receive it, though exceptions are being made in special circumstances. That means that Deadwood should start filming by the beginning of October.”

In other words: the Deadwood movie is probably happening after all. HBO and Deadwood creator David Milch have been talking about a Deadwood movie ever since HBO pulled the plug on the series in 2006. The prospects of the film have gone from good to bad to good again over the course of the years. Everything seemed to be on track, and then, a few weeks ago, Timothy Olyphant had to go and be a jerk about it.

Olyphant, who played volatile lawman Seth Bullock on the show, said he thought there was “no fucking way” a Deadwood movie would ever happen. To his credit, Olyphant did add that despite his doubts, he was hopeful that the Deadwood film might come together some day:

“I am hopeful. I mean I’m … I’m… I’m a huge fan of David Milch. The man means the world to me. It’s one of the most amazing creative experiences I’ve ever been able to be apart of, and I’d love to be … you know when you do these things you really miss the people. It would just be a lovely excuse to get all those people back together…”

Deadwood ran from 2004 to 2006 on HBO. It was a brilliant, brutal, exceedingly well-written and well-acted Western that ranks with some of the best original programming HBO ever created. After HBO cancelled the show following its third season, series creator David Milch said he hoped to wrap up the show with two HBO movies. Nothing came of this for several years. Then, in 2016, HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said:

“David has our commitment that we are going to do it. He pitched what he thought generally the storyline would be — and knowing David, that could change. But it’s going to happen.”

Since then, the Deadwood movie has been in the works, with Milch writing several different screenplays. Now, it seems like it’s all about to pay off. It’s unlikely that HBO would file for this tax credit if they didn’t have every intention of moving forward, and moving forward soon.

Timothy Olyphant has decided to be a jerk and throw some cold water on the Deadwood movie. HBO and creator David Milch have been going back and forth about the idea for years. Recently, it’s seemed closer to reality than ever before. Now, however, Olyphant, who starred in all three seasons of the Shakespearian Western, is warning fans to not hold their breath.

Timothy Olyphant, wyd? We were all rooting for you, and then you had to go and dash our hopes and dreams of a Deadwood movie. During a recent appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live (via EW), Olyphant was asked for an update on the Deadwood movie. His reply? “There’s no fucking way it will ever happen.”

Ouch.

Olyphant went on to say that while people behind the scenes are making an effort to make the movie a reality, he’s very doubtful it will happen. The actor thinks it’s just too hard to get everyone back together to get the film made. That said, Olyphant is “hopeful” it will happen, adding:

“I am hopeful. I mean I’m … I’m… I’m a huge fan of David Milch. The man means the world to me. It’s one of the most amazing creative experiences I’ve ever been able to be apart of, and I’d love to be … you know when you do these things you really miss the people. It would just be a lovely excuse to get all those people back together…”

If this news depresses you (as it does me), there’s still some hope. EW reached out to HBO for a statement, and HBO reaffirmed they’re committed to making the Deadwood movie a reality:

“We are continuing to try and bring this group of actors together. With varying schedules, it is a challenge, but we are committed to finding a way and making the film.”

A Brief History of the Deadwood Movie

Deadwood ran from 2004 to 2006 on HBO. While it wasn’t exactly a ratings juggernaut, it was highly acclaimed – and for good reason. In my humble opinion, it’s one of the best shows HBO has ever created – right up there with The Sopranos. The show was a brutal, incredibly well-acted Western that employed Shakespearian trappings (and a whole lot of dirty language), and I’d love to see more of it.

After HBO cancelled the show following its third season, creator David Milch floated the idea of wrapping up the show with two HBO movies. For a long time, nothing happened. Then, in 2016, HBO said a single Deadwood movie was very much a possibility. HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said at the time:

“David has our commitment that we are going to do it. He pitched what he thought generally the storyline would be — and knowing David, that could change. But it’s going to happen.”

In early 2017, it was revealed David Milch was hard at work writing the script for the movie. By April of 2017, Deadwood star Ian McShane said the script was finished, and everyone was just waiting for HBO to finalize things. In November of 2017, word came that the Deadwood movie might (finally) start shooting in fall of 2018. HBO’s Casey Bloys said:

“I read the script and the one thing that I was concerned about is I wanted the script that would stand on its own. If you were a Deadwood fan it would make you happy and if you never watched Deadwood you could still enjoy it. David [Milch] delivered on that. If we can do it for a budget that makes sense for us and find a director, we’re talking to a few folks, and we can get the cast together which is no easy task, we’re inclined to do it. We have to get over those hurdles. The good news is, the script was terrific.”

Bloys then provided yet another update, this time in January 2018, saying Milch was re-writing the script:

“David Milch is doing a rewrite that he and the producers were talking about. If they can get all the actors together, which they’re trying to do — and everybody wants to do it — if they can get everybody back together, we’re looking at fall 2018 to shoot something. But a lot of things have to fall into place for that to happen. But I’m optimistic.”

As a huge fan of Deadwood, I both want and need this movie to happen. So I sincerely hope Mr. Olyphant is incorrect, and that the Deadwood movie will see the light of day sooner rather than later.

The award-winning show was set in the late 1800s and took us through the comings and goings of the South Dakota town’s most corrupt characters (i.e. everyone). This summer, it was reported that series creator David Milch had turned in a script to the cable network, but no official green light was reported. And there still isn’t any official word from HBO. As TVLine says, “a rep for the cabler declined to comment on anything about the project, which has yet to receive a formal green light.” Also from TVLine:

Paula Malcomson, who played “Trixie the Whore” opposite Ian McShane’s F-bomb spewing Al Swearengen on the beloved series, recently told TVLine that the two-hour continuation is “a big Valentine” to the pair. She also expressed confidence that despite a long and rocky development period, “I really think it will happen [this time]. And I would never say that. I’m usually the most cynical about these things.”

Let’s all stay hopeful and worship the TV gods accordingly so that we see our foul-mouthed Deadwood fam again soon.

Attention Deadwood vets: You’re going to be busy as f@&# next fall.

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that HBO is eyeing a Fall 2018 production start for the expletive-drenched drama’s long-in-the-works revival movie. A rep for the cabler declined to comment on anything about the project, which has yet to receive a formal green light. 

Over the summer at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, HBO’s top programming exec, Casey Bloys, confirmed that the project was picking up steam. “The one thing that I was concerned about was I wanted a script that would stand on its own [for Deadwood fans and non-fans],” he said. “[Series creator] David [Milch] totally delivered on that. I think it’s a terrific script. If we can do it on a budget that makes sense for us, and if we can get the cast together, we’re inclined to do it.”

HBO’s executive session for the Television Critics Association was dominated by news for their controversial announcement for Confederate. During the panel with Head of Programming Casey Bloys, the exec also gave updates on some highly anticipated returning and current HBO shows.

A third season of True Detective has begun casting and writing. “I have read five scripts for a third season and I think they’re terrific,” Bloys said. “We have a deal with Mahershala Ali to play the lead. We’re talking to directors. When we find a director we want to hire, we’ll be a go for that.”

Pre-production has begun on the final season of Game of Thrones, but when it might air is still in flux. “The scripts are written,” Bloys said. “I believe they’re boarding it all out to get a sense. It’s a big season. They’re trying to get a sense of how long is it going to take them to shoot this. I don’t have the answer yet, but they’re working on it.”

Bloys did confirm that no current characters appearing on Game of Thrones will be involved in any developing spin-offs.

Every TCA press tour, someone asks HBO about a Deadwood wrap-up movie. This time, Bloys actually has an answer.

“This is your lucky year because I have an update,” he said. “I read the script and the one thing that I was concerned about is I wanted the script that would stand on its own. If you were a Deadwood fan it would make you happy and if you never watched Deadwood you could still enjoy it. David [Milch] delivered on that. If we can do it for a budget that makes sense for us and find a director, we’re talking to a few folks, and we can get the cast together which is no easy task, we’re inclined to do it. We have to get over those hurdles. The good news is,the script was terrific.”

Another controversial HBO project is a Herve Villechaize biopic to star Peter Dinklage. Villechaize was presumed to be Filipino, so the casting of Dinklage raises questions. However, Bloys said it’s not so clear cut.

“We tried to confirm they were Filipino,” Bloys said. “His brother says they’re not. At the time we were talking to Peter about it, we did think about it. Peter’s passionate to play this role, I don’t think anybody like him has really been humanized in a film before. It was Peter’s passion project. He’s wanted to play him for a long time. It’s a legitimate question. Just yesterday we were trying to confirm. Let’s assume he is. I still think the benefit of humanizing someone who played these roles and the effect that had on his personal life and psyche is worth highlighting.”

Bloys was tighter lipped about Damon Lindelof’s adaptation of Watchmen. “Damon has a really, really, really interesting take on it,” Bloys said. “I do think there is room for his adaptation of Watchmen.”

HBO also has a new Alan Ball series in the works, but the title may change. “We were referring to it as Here Now,” Bloys said. “We were told we couldn’t clear the title in Europe. Stay tuned for a new title. What I really wanted was a family show. When I heard Alan had a family show, we jumped at the chance to do it. It is a family show with some supernatural elements. It’s a nice mix for Alan of True Blood and Six Feet Under. I don’t know if he’s going to be mad at me for describing it that way. At its core it is a family show.”

Finally, while HBO would like to continue the Emmy nominated The Night Of, the show’s creator has not approached them. “The good news about someone like Steve Zaillian is he will come to you when he’s ready,” Bloys said. “He has not come to us with an idea he feels makes sense to him. When he comes to us we’ll know that he’s locked into something.”

In today’s edition of sequel bits:

  • Screenwriter Derek Solstad is back for John Wick: Chapter 3.
  • A pivotal character returns to the Mission: Impossible franchise.
  • Ian McShane provides another promising update on the Deadwood movie.
  • A new poster for Transformers: The Last Knight.
  • Jared Leto talks Blade Runner 2049.
  • And more.

Mamma mia

Deadline confirmed Amanda Seyfried (Chloe) is returning for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!, which is coming out a decade after the hit musical opened in theaters. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and in what sounds like a limited appearance, Meryl Streep, are back as well. They’ll be singing ABBA again in Ol Parker‘s (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) sequel.

John Wick 2 Shoot Date

The screenwriter behind John Wick and a movie we can now enjoy on Blu-Ray over and over again, John Wick: Chapter Two, is hard at work on a third addition to The Wick Trilogy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Derek Kolstad is again working with director Chad Stahelski, who may direct Chapter 3. It’s unconfirmed whether Stahelski is directing, but he’ll be heavily involved even if he just produces. Lionsgate is hoping to get production started in the Fall.

Kolstad sold the spec script for the first movie in February of 2014, and the finished movie came out November of that year. That rarely happens. When we interviewed the screenwriter for the recent sequel, he told us he hopes people keep seeing John Wick movies because he wants to keep writing them.

Blade Runner 2049 trailer breakdown 6

Academy Award-winnerJared Leto plays Neander Wallace, a creator of replicants, in Blade Runner 2049. Leto shared his character’s name with the Evening Stanard, who he also told a little bit about his experience on Denis Villeneuve‘s sequel:

I can tell you that the experience of making [Blade Runner: 2049] was one of the highlights of my film career. Throughout my life, I’ve always gone back to that film. There was something in it that really touched me and taught me a lot about cinema. There’s a level of craftsmanship and beauty that’s unparalleled.

Plenty remains unknown about Neander Wallace and other characters in the sequel. The sequel, which is about the search for Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), played things close to the vest with the first two trailers.

Transformers The Last Knight Clip

A sequel that doesn’t quite have our hopes up, Transformers: The Last Knight, has a new poster featuring Stonehenge. Michael Bay is continuing to rewrite history with Autobots and Decepticons, which Texan Inventor Yeager Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) will get a few lessons on in the upcoming sequel.

Here’s the poster (via Screenrant):

Another sequel coming out this summer, The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature, arrives in August. Some character posters have been released for the sequel, including one for Jackie Chan‘s character, described as “a weapon of mouse destruction.”

deadwood movie

A slightly less kid-friendly property than Cars, Deadwood, continues to gain some momentum. For years and years, talk of David Milch making a movie and finishing his story come and gone. The script is ready to go, and according to actor Ian McShane (American Gods), if it doesn’t get made we can all blame HBO.

McShane recently told Variety they now have to figure out how to get everybody together at the right time:

There are signs that HBO are quite keen to make it. They’ve got the script. It’s when they’ll make an offer and when we can fit it in. We probably won’t start ‘American Gods’ until probably the end of the year or early next year, so there’s a window when we can do ‘Deadwood,’ but they need to get everybody together. I mean all the characters that David [Milch] wants to put in the show. I’m probably going to have breakfast with him later this week. But no, they’re keen to do it, and I’m sure it would seem not only artistically a perfect time to do it but also commercially because there’s always been a revised interested in ‘Deadwood’. It went off the air far too soon for all the reasons you say, but that’s a long time ago. It seems like a two hour film would be a nice thing for all the people that want to see it and all of us who were deprived of the gig too early.

Roseanne

One revival we know for sure is happening: Roseanne. The original cast, including John Goodman, are returning for eight new episodes of Roseanne Barr‘s television series next year on ABC. While on The Tonight Show (via Screenrant), Laurie Metcalf, who played Roseanne’s sister, said there’ll be new, prominent characters:

Everybody’s on board, yeah. There will be new people, because we had children. You know, Roseanne and I both had little tiny tots 20 years ago. So there will be new characters.

If you want to keep an eye on the behind-the-scenes of the next Mission: Impossible film (due out July 27, 2018), then you should follow writer-director Christopher McQuarrie (The Way of the Gun) on Instagram. The photo above, of course, is of Henry Cavill, but a new photo posted by the filmmaker confirms the return of a well-known character in the series, Julia Meade (Michelle Monaghan).

The Mission: Impossible III star briefly appeared at the end of Ghost Protocol, but she’ll cross paths again with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in the next sequel, which McQuarrie did say would get more personal than the other Mission: Impossible films.
