Against all odds, the Deadwood movie is really happening
According to Deadline, the gosh darn Deadwood movie we’ve been hearing about for a few years now is actually going to freakin’ happen, proving that Timothy Olyphant is nothing but a handsome pessimist. This news actually seemed somewhat inevitable back in April, which was when HBO got approved for a big tax benefit reserved for companies filming stuff in California. In order to get that approval, it had to have a definitive plan to begin production within a certain number of days, meaning Deadwood had to start filming by August, which is exactly what HBO says is going to happen now. Network president Casey Bloys announced at a TCA event this morning that the Deadwood movie has been given the green light and will hopefully launch at some point next year.
