HBO confirms 'Deadwood' movie will release in 2019
HBO has finally given the green signal for the much awaited 'Deadwood' movie which will hopefully premiere in 2019. According to HBO chief Casey Bloys, the lawless wild west story will continue in the movie, catching up with its final episode in Season 3 in 2006, almost 12 years later. The series ran from 2004 to 2006 with 36 episodes across three seasons. Reportedly, 'Deadwood' creator David Milch is writing the script and Daniel Minahan who had worked on four episodes in the series is set to direct the film. The production will most probably begin by fall this year.
Bloys told reporters, "We’re looking at an October start date... It has been a logistics nightmare getting all the cast members’ schedules lined up.” However, the HBO chief doesn't want to raise your hopes too high as he also mentioned, "Let's take the green light and celebrate that." Although the release is supposed to be set during next year's spring, Bloys, however, took the safer side and said that the date has yet not been "set in stone". A 'Deadwood' movie has been in the offing since 2006 and this is not the first time that Bloys has shown some hope about the release of the movie.
