It's not April, so this must be real! I guess they finally worked out the kinks and are getting this off the ground. Official posts went up about 45 minutes ago:

https://www.hbo.com/deadwood/movie-what-to-know-so-far.html posted:

Here�s the most up-to-date information about the long-awaited Deadwood film, based on the Golden Globe and Emmy-winning series .

What�s it about?
The movie comes nearly 13 years after the drama concluded in 2006 and follows the 10-year reunion of the camp 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.

When will it premiere?
The film is set to premiere in 2019 on HBO, HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand.

Who�s in it?
Returning to Deadwood are Ian McShane (Ray Donovan, American Gods) as the foul-mouthed saloon owner Al Swearengen; Timothy Olyphant (Justified, Santa Clara Diet) as Deadwood sheriff Seth Bullock; Molly Parker (House of Cards) as the widowed Alma Ellsworth; Paula Malcomson at Trixie; John Hawkes as Sol Starr; Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad) as Mrs. Bullock; Dayton Callie as Charlie Utter; Brad Dourif as Doc Cochran; and Robin Weigert (Big Little Lies) as Calamity Jane Canary; William Sanderson as E.B. Farnum; Kim Dickens as Joanie Stubbs; and Gerald McRaney as George Hearst.

The film will also feature new cast member Jade Pettyjohn as Caroline.

What�s happening behind the scenes?
The script hails from series creator David Milch. Daniel Minahan � whose TV credits include Game of Thrones, True Blood and Six Feet Under � will direct. The film is executive produced by Milch, Carolyn Strauss, Minahan, Gregg Fienberg, Scott Stephens, Ian McShane and Timothy Olyphant.

tl;dr- Much of the main cast (that still lives :rip:

) is returning. Looks like it will be set a decade or so after the show's end, with everybody returning to celebrate Statehood.

Confirmed Returning:

Ian McShane as Al Swearengen

Timothy Olyphant as Seth Bullock

Molly Parker as Alma Ellsworth

Paula Malcomson as Trixie

John Hawkes as Sol Starr

Anna Gunn as Mrs. Bullock

Dayton Callie as Charlie Utter

Brad Dourif as Doc Cochran

Robin Weigert as Calamity Jane Canary

William Sanderson as E.B. Farnum

Kim Dickens as Joanie Stubbs

Gerald McRaney as George Hearst

There's also this from Deadline that says production started last month:

Milch said he actually filmed a pilot with period swearing, but when he showed it to a test audience they all laughed at some of the words they said back then. In order to keep the shock value of a lawless mining camp intact, he fuckin' decided to have these cocksuckers swear like fuckin' sailors.

(Also I'm midway through Season 2 of a re-watch. God, Francis Wolcott was just a great villain.)

I really enjoy that actor in everything I�ve seen him in, including T:SCC.

If anyone hasn�t seen The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, I highly recommend!

Is there any good example of what the actual swearing should have been like in that period? I cant imagine the filthy-mouthed miners being satisfied with "dang" and "tarnation" after watching Deadwood. The fuckin cocksuckin just rolls off their tongues so well it's almost poetic.

It would have literally been Yosemite Sam: a charicature of a �49er!

No, you're right. I think they're just confused. She wasn't some horrific wife in Deadwood either, she married Bullock because it was generally required that a woman with a child have a husband and her brother-in-law was expected to take care of her after her husband died. Neither one was really happy with the whole situation. Didn't help Bullock kept loving the widow Garret either.

I loved how Al constantly felt the need/duty to reign-in Bullock�s irrationality w/r/t Alma and her myriad problems.

Speaking of endings, I just finished the Season 1 finale. It's insanely good, and I think the best finale to a season I've ever seen.

I think I watched this show for the first time too young. I wanted blood and back-stabbing, the show appeals to me more now.

I think this may be TV�s Don Quixote for how well the rewatches hold up.

The anecdote goes that you read Don Quixote as a young man and it's a comedy. Read it in middle-age and the first half is funny, but the second half is sad. Read it when you're retired and it's a tragedy.

edit: Quick pronunciation question: I know that Quixote is pronounced "Key-Ho-Tay" (more or less, anyway) but what about the word 'quixotic'? I always pronounced it as "Quick-Sot-Ick" (again more or less) but now I am wondering whether the odd (for English) pronunciation holds true; maybe it's "Key-Hot-Ick" or something..

Basically, the difference the Quixote (key-HO-tay) and quixotic (QUICKS-ah-tick) is mostly down to English being a silly language that steals words from other languages because it�s too lazy to make its own!

By the end of the Civil War, it looked much like things would through WWI: trench warfare, machine guns, trains supplying soldiers as fast as they can be killed, all of it.

Except for the uniforms, pictures from the end of the Civil War look just like the battlefields of France...

Again, maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, too. But I cannot think of anything more incredibly romantic than deciding to break the bonds of an entire people out of an intense and sincere love for one of them. What is more romantic than declaring, "I will free you and all the people here like you in the same situation!" and actually doing it?

Didn't the Emancipation Proclomation only apply to slaves in rebel states? Pretty sure slavery was still legal in the north until the war ended.

I thought that the historical consensus was that Lincoln didn't care much about slavery being legal or not, but cared very much about preserving the Union.

It's a perfect representation of a classic problem of moral philosophy. If you were in his position, do you really think you would be 100% dispassionate and sacrifice someone who is very close to him who everyone knows in the camp or a total stranger? We would all do this given the option. We would all kill a stranger instead of our significant other or parent or brother or best friend if it had to be one of the two with no other option.

It wasn't a stranger, iirc, it was one of the girls working for him, and tbf Trixie deserved to pay the price for what she did rather than someone innocent of the crime.

Tolliver is literally the devil, but Al isn't a good guy either.

Cojawfee posted:

Did he have the girl's family killed? Even in private it seemed like he wanted to know who did it.

His goons did it and he chided them for getting caught, not the deed itself. Something along the lines of 'no witnesses next time.' Everyone was worried he would have the girl killed, and he nearly did.

The guy played by Nick Offerman I think was just doing road agent stuff on his own without Al knowing. That's why Al had them all killed, and then offered money for an Indian head to calm everyone down. Also, I didn't realize until later that when bullock was attacked by that native and killed him. The pyre they put him on was the one for the native whose head was brought into camp.

It�s one of the reasons Bullock feels extra guilty for killing the guy: not only was he just trying to bury his friend, but Seth set in motion the events which led to both of their deaths...

The two big differences for most of the people who got it as bad/worse than those two:
1) They had a ~chance~ to give as good as they got (Bullock's various fights, Dan and the Captain, Al and Bullock)
2) The person doing the murdering/beating did not take pleasure in it.

Those two things make that one of the most disturbing scenes in the show, for me.

Show killed way less horses than actual horse racing. The fact it got shut down is loving hilarious.

Yeah, the hosed up thing about horse racing is that it is so dangerous for the horses that even ~pretending~ to do is often fatal to the animals. The instinct to run in horses is overwhelming, the fastest ones barely pick up their hooves (which leads to stumbling/tripping), and they will literally kill themselves to stay with the pack.

Thirding Luck being good, except for its murderous production... :smith:

"She's bad about stumbling while pulling up. She doesn't pick her feet up very high. It's one reason she could run very fast and far. She had the perfect motion for being effective and efficient. However, those horses who do that have a tendency to want to stumble."

Jesus christ. If a horse tends to stumble, and stumbling can cause fatal injuries to their fragile legs, then don't run that loving horse. I don't want to be full PETA, but maybe if you are breeding an animal to the point that it is at great risk of fatal injury, don't do that.

You literally just described the entire horse-racing industry...they only select the horses like that because they have the fastest gait.

Honestly, I'm surprised when shows like Deadwood have horses in them for how clumsy and dangerous they are...

When HBO Programming President Casey Bloys last July announced that the long-in-the-works Deadwood movie has finally been greenlighted, his guess was that the film might debut in Spring 2019. That had been the target premiere date, and I hear it has now been firmed up. David Milch�s Deadwood followup will debut this spring and will be eligible for the 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards.
