HBO's decision last year to blow up its beloved Western series "Deadwood" left fans enraged and also left a number of hugely talented and much in-demand actors scattered to the four winds. Many of them, such as Tim Olyphant and Ian McShane, have quickly adjusted to a career more focused on film, and now joining them is Kim Dickens, known to series fans as whore-turned-madam Joanie Stubbs, a naive girl who grows more mature and cunning over the course of the three year show. Prior to landing her role...
so this kind of confirms that there is no movie for Deadwood? that kills me...that was literally the best television series that I have ever seen...I don't understand why they couldn't finish it
I don't know. If they already tore down the set, and the cast and crew have all moved on, sounds like it's to late to me. Such a blemish on a fantastic series. That's not like HBO to do that.
I might just take The Wire off my Netflix queue, but probably won't.
I have never seen Deadwood, but am a big fan of westerns since childhood. However, I have been a very big fan of Kim's since first seeing her in Mercury Rising, and she has quickly become one of my favorite actresses. With it's very talented cast, Deadwood will certainly be on my list of DVD's to pick up. I hope Kim gets all the recognition she deserves. She has a bright future ahead of her.
if you are a fan of westerns but (for some reason) havnt picked up Deadwood yet, DO SO NOW!!!!
not only is it easily the best western TV show ever made, it rivals some of the great western films of all time....most Deadwood-ites would agree with me here, if you arent watching deadwood you are missing out!!!
