Just started my rewatch last night. Love this show, so glad they are finally going to finish it.

Its too bad they couldnt get this together before Powers Boothe died.

Will believe when we get a production still and set videos.

Pretty sure they said this a year or two ago also.

It's been rumored since forever, but as far as I recall this is the first time HBO themselves confirmed it, talked about cast / director and whatnot, and put a general release date.

Unfortunate that the series never really got to finish, so this should put some closure to it all. Deadwood deserves it.

YES! I mean, this was sort of already known but nice to see it all official. Kind of have mixed feelings on how the show will end with only a film. Rewatching the series now and its at its best with all the little character moments that have room to breath in the scope of a 12 episode season. Stuffing all of it into a movie seems like a tall task.

Super happy to have it back for some closure though. Shame about Powers Boothe and Richeson (Richardson on the show) having passed away and Titus Welliver not being available.

Is it weird that that HBO.com article doesn't mention W. Earl. Brown returning? I will challenge anyone saying that Dan Dority isn't a major player.

I've been wanting this forever and was actually thinking earlier today that it's been a while we've heard anything since the last time it was confirmed to be happening. What are the odds.

That said, I'll believe it when I see it.

Still have never seen the program. I remember listening to one episode and thought the dialog was absurd.

Feel like it's my lone HBO sin.

Theres a slow patch the first half of season 2 that turned a lot of people off. After that period its pretty fast paced. Great show.

Excited for this.

Season 3 was clearly a build up to a season 4 that never happened. I need closure.

Just give me more McShane chewing dialogue.

DISPATCHES FROM THE THOROUGHFARE

"What a Blessing it is to be among friends" is a line of dialogue spoken by Reverend Smith in season one of DEADWOOD. It kept reverberating through my mind these last two days as we shot a complicated scene that involved fifteen characters - that takes awhile. We were on the new Gem set. A dozen or so cast chairs had been huddled together in a semi-circle near the craft service table. Often on shows, when actors aren't needed for a particular shot, they will go back to their trailers. That was rarely the case these past few days. Imagine a Thanksgiving dinner with an huge family of crazy uncles, curmudgeonly grandfathers, eccentric aunts are gathered around and everyone gets along - everyone loves each other. Those are often due to the biological bonds that unite spirits; ours was created by the shared experience of creating a television show together.

Sean, Tim, and I sang Iron Maiden and Judas Priest songs a cappella; Mac and I talked politics and traded puns; Geri and I shared deeply personal stories about family; it was funny, it was insightful, it was moving. Likely my favorite was early in the day yesterday, while a big lighting change was being made, an exec from HBO joined us at our coffee klatch. He had not been at the network when we were in production on the series. Since our Maestro, Milch, was not with us on the second of shooting the scene, talk turned to Dave Stories. Each of us had them and we sort of went around the circle sharing. Not only was I in tears of laughter but I learned a few things I didn't know, or had some background and context filled in for things I did know. As we were explaining how Dave would work in rehearsal, Molly said "we always had that moment of discussion, but it went beyond just talking about the scene - it was a communion..." Yes, it was. It still is.

What a Blessing it is to be among friends.

also, from last month:

It was a moment twelve year in the making. I didn't want to miss a second of it, so I got there early. The room was ready, tables arranged in a circle, scripts appropriately distributed, place cards in place. The moment was drawing close.

Another cast member had the same idea as I did and got there early. We said our howdys at the craft service table. I grabbed a coffee & a muffin and went for a walk. I again took in the Thoroughfare, I again sat on the step of the Chez Ami, I again offered prayers of gratitude to whatever Spirit that aligned the Universe and brought us all back here to this place. I could see fellow cast arriving at the gate, so I meandered through Chinaman's Alley on my way back to the conference room.

About half of our cast was at the Table Read - 12 regulars by my count. We had guest actors filling in for those who couldn't attend. Trust me, everyone wanted to be there, but other commitments kept some away. Me - I agreed to a Red Eye tonight so I could be there.

Cast, crew , and execs crowded into the room - about fifty in all. The moment had arrived... The first line of dialogue spoken is an acknowledgment of Time's passage. One need only look around the room at the age evident in the faces of my fellow cast to see it, but to hear it spoken in the glorious words of the Maestro made the moment so much more real.

The actor assigned that piece of dialogue began... and choked up before being able to get the words out. The next sound will likely remain with me the rest of my days - PFFFT, PFFFT, PFFFT... it was tissues being pulled from the various boxes spread about the room. Knowing I'm prone to the sentimental & maudlin now and again, I'd brought along a bandana for myself (plus it looked cool with my hat and boots). I don't think there was a dry eye in that room. The actor took a long, deep breath, and resumed.

We were back.

For two hours we focused on the pages. We laughed; we cried; we shared a moment a dozen years in the making. For two hours, all Hearts present beat the same rhythm and all Spirits drew the same breath.

Thomas Wolfe wrote, "you can't go home again" Today we proved that cocksucker wrong. #deadwoodreturns
