Deadwood creator David Milch reportedly submitted a script to HBO, and star Ian McShane says the network is “keen” to make the film.
During an appearance at SDCC promoting their AMC zombie show Fear the Walking Dead, Dickens and Callie told TVLine that they both have been contacted by HBO about their availability for a Deadwood film.
Assembling the cast would likely be the trickiest part about getting a Deadwood movie rolling during McShane’s limited window.
Set in a fictionalized version of the titular Old West town, Deadwood ran for three seasons on HBO, garnering loads of critical acclaim along the way.
