HBO has yet to confirm deals for the Deadwood Season 4 revival movie, but star Ian McShane tells EW he’d “love” to step back into the shoes of Al Swearengen:
“Of course I’d love to reprise [my Deadwood role]. How could one not, when it was snatched away rather unjustly by a combination of forces we’ll never know about – hubris or money or whatever. But [Deadwood] certainly finished too early. At the time, most of us working on the show were incredulous.
He continued:
[The movie has] been announced by HBO so its not like I’m saying it. I know for a fact David is working on the script. It’s been 10 years since it finished. [Star Timothy Olyphant’s] free from Justified. I’m hoping they’ll make the deal soon, for two or four hours, whatever they decide on. It was a very close knit group of actors on it. We got along very well. I’m sure David will decide to set it 10 years later, after the great fire or whatever happened in Deadwood. They haven’t done the deal yet. They [were planning] to do it late this year or early next year.”
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Deadwood: The Movie…
