Deadwood returns. It’s going to be a movie, set 12 years after the end of the series.
Tim Carmody has some thoughts about the return on kottke.org. Worth reading for fans of the show.
He also shares a couple of Deadwood clips. I can see Julie and I are going to have to rewatch the whole series before it comes back.
Rise and shine, hoopleheads! They’re finally making that feature-length “Deadwood” movie they’ve been talking about since the show went off the air twelve years ago.

I loved the series when I was a kid, and the occasional YouTube clip of the show can always make me smile. I liked the 1998 movie fine — it was charming. I’m not enthusiastic about a remake but I guess I’ll give it a try.
As an adult, I found the premise unbelievable — that NASA would send a single family into space, on what would probably be a one-way mission. You can’t start a colony with that small of a gene pool. Now I’m thinking, who could get away with something like that? Well, a crazy billionaire, that’s who. So imagine you’ve got an engineer-billionaire who’s nuts for space and builds a spaceship for herself and bullies her family into coming with her. That could work.
