Not only is HBO keen to make a Deadwood movie happen, but fans of the late lamented show are as well.
No Deadwood movie would be possible without Ian McShane reprising the role of Al Swearengen, the eternally conniving and sometimes homicidal tavern proprietor.
Though McShane is currently heavily involved in the Starz series American Gods, recent reports indicated that his contract was structured in such a way that if a Deadwood movie materialized, he would be available.
Recently it was reported that series creator David Milch had delivered a script for a Deadwood movie to HBO, and at least one actor who starred on the original series read the script and gave it his seal of approval.
