I never thought this day would come, and I’m thrilled to be wrong. HBO has officially announced production on the long-awaited Deadwood movie. Creator David Milch penned the script, Daniel Minahan will helm, and almost the entire original cast is returning: Ian McShane (Al Swearengen), Timothy Olyphant (Seth Bullock), Molly Parker (Alma Ellsworth), Paula Malcomson (Trixie), John Hawkes (Sol Star), Anna Gunn (Martha Bullock), Dayton Callie (Charlie Utter), Brad Dourif (Doc Cochran), Robin Weigert (“Calamity” Jane Canary), William Sanderson (E.B. Farnum), Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs) and Gerald McRaney (George Hearst).
The fact that Gerald McRaney’s George Hearst is returning is particularly interesting – he was the main antagonist in the third season, and the season (and series) concluded with him leaving town. The film will also feature Jade Pettyjohn as a new character, Caroline.
In the Deadwood movie “the indelible characters of the series are reunited after ten years to celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Former rivalries are reignited, alliances are tested and old wounds are reopened, as all are left to navigate the inevitable changes that modernity and time have wrought.”
