Steve Buscemi and Kelly Macdonald To Star In Scorsese-Directed HBO Pilot BOARDWALK EMPIRE??
I am – Hercules!!
Steve Buscemi (“The Sopranos,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”) and Kelly Macdonald (“Trainspotting,” “No Country For Old Men”) are in talks to star in HBO’s pilot for “Boardwalk Empire,” produced and directed by Martin Scorsese from a teleplay by Terrence Winter (“The Sopranos”).
“Boardwalk,” about the rise of gambling in Atlantic City in the 1920s, is based on the book "Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City" by Nelson Johnson.
The Hollywood reporter describes:
Buscemi would play Nucky Johnson, a cunning businessman who runs a liquor distribution ring at the onset of Prohibition.
The Scotland-born Macdonald would play Margaret, a smart Irish immigrant who married the wrong man to get out of her parents' house.
The pilot marks Scorsese’s first non-documentary directorial effort for television since the 1986 “Mirror Mirror” episode of “Amazing Stories” starring Sam Waterston.

I like it...

is fucking CHUCK AND LARRY?
-
of all things, a '90210' casting announcement today? Aimee Teegarden will join the CW show soon, and Julie's a pretty significant player in the FNL-verse. There'll be only 13 episodes when it's back on NBC 1/16. So the cast have been cleared to work on other projects in the meantime. Here's the rest of the story from E!: http://tinyurl.com/6rystc

I'm in it for the long haul. And on-topic, Buscemi RAWKS.
-
Fucking Hell. Buscemi's not that shit.
-
....the project Vince just booked on Entourage? ;)
-
John Goodman saying, "Shut up, Donny" to Steve Buscemi.
-
...is a blight on the film for you guys, you're trying too hard to find something not to like. Besides, you're missing the payoff to that joke, when Donny actually says something Walter wants to hear (the time of their next bowling round) and stops himself halfway through his automatic response to Donny's voice.
-
Not really over-fucking-used considering he only uses that line a few times, and the rest is just him putting Donny down.
-
That's how that ought to read.
-
"What's wrong with Walter?"
Is funny as shit. -
I think this is great. Anything these two do is worth a look.
-
Will you temporarily lift your Heroes boycott and let us know what happens?
-
Casualties Of War is ATROCIOUS. Heroes 311 has to be, at the worst, a thousand times better than that piece of shit.
-
that was some freaky ,scary shit ..I remember that fucker to this day scared the shit out of me..I still think about the reflection only Waterson can see..
The scarred face with the hat and cape.. Yeah that was the most effective of the amazing stories series as far as I'm concerned.. -
Story I heard on the radio was Buscemi had been a fireman.
True or not?
Anyone expand on it? -
It's been confirmed in interviews, I think.
-
Hope this project doesn't go the way of Mulholland Drive. I adore that movie, but the full 2-season series of HBO's Mulholland Drive is right up there with Nirvana's fifth studio album in terms of media that is impossible, that i still wish was somehow available anyway.
-
She's a sexy woman. I would pay money, to touch her.
And PotSmokinAlien, I'd settle for a fourth album, but if we could get the 5th, I'd take that too. -
On 911 he returned to his former firehouse put on an old outfit and helped until he dropped.
-
Scorsese+ Buscemi+ HBO+ Enoch "Nucky" Johnson= I Win. I hope they cover the 1929 Atlantic City National Gangster Conference in the first season.....
-
Perhaps. I always love Buscemi news, and it's shaping up to be a cool project.
-
sounds like another winner for HBO. bring it on!
-
if they can bring back a mastodon...why not???
we have the technology. -
..they did bring back a mastodon...and that Mastodon rocks!!!
-
Any characters that they introduced in season 2. They'll all be gone.
-
And here we go...
-
No worries. :)
-
Hope Sylar and Elle have change for the bus. ;)
-
D!ohinder gonna seek out freakin' MAYA??
-
Still hate !TeenHiro!, though.
-
Haven't seen him since the premiere. Was just a one-shot,
-
man, they can't even get the sync the sound track
They need to kill off everyone including Kring and then burn and salt the ground
Then forget this ever happened -
And he gave Noah a better fight than I thought he would. Sylar loves him some Elle...
-
Way to destroy HRG's character.
-
To be revealed, hopefully by the end of the episode.
-
The HRG of old would have pushed his wife out of the way to be first at the hospital. "If only Claire could see you now..."
-
LMAO.
-
is gonna make a beeline for the nearest available Bennett. But what about Sylar? When he reboots, will he still have the humanity - or was it erased when the eclipse happened?
-
Bad eclipse, BAD!
-
Hiro's BACK.
-
this show spins on itself , nobody ever really dies and nothing really moves foward.
-
is this generations Bruce Campbell, just being around makes this cool. What a tool.

He's a Philadelphia sportswriter who's in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he covered baseball as well for our Daily News. In his column the day after the Phillies won their first world series in 1980, he related a story about his late grandfather, who was a diehard Fightins' fan that actually purchased his 1964 World Series tickets before the season was over. That was the year of the Phils' epic collapse, blowing a 6 1/2 game lead with 12 to play. He always said after a loss during the streak, 'We'll get 'em tomorrow.' But one day near the end of that season, after he watched another loss, Didinger's grandfather didn't say anything. He just got up and flicked off the television. Ray wrote, "That's when I knew it was over for the '64 Phillies."
I had a similar epiphany now. I wish I hadn't called it 19 minutes beforehand. What you saw tonight was the equivalent of Peyton Manning benched before the Super Bowl. Of US women's soccer coach Greg Ryan benching Hope Solo, who only had three shutouts in the Women's World Cup last year in favor of Briana Scurry, who hadn't started a game in 3 months, but who had a better record against Brazil. The US got trounced 4-0. You get the idea... -
I stuck by Heroes through the most underwhelming season finale (S1) that I've ever witnessed. I toughed it out through FeudalHiro!, West, and the Telemundo Twins. I sloughed through a lot of season 3, because one shining light made me watch anyway. And now she's gone.
Google E! Online Watch With Kristin website; hopefully she'll have an exit interview with KB. I hope she pulls a Heigl and throws these writers under the effin' bus. Now, there's no chance for a return. Like my late mom says, when one door closes, another opens. Her future as an A-list movie actress is a hell of a lot more brighter than Heroes could offer her. It's their loss, and ours. :( -
That was some very hairy shit she had in Trainspotting.
-
I thought to myself...somebody in Philly isn't happy right now...keep the faith.Hope this show can continue,but,I'm not holding my breath.
-
I think an 18-wheeler or a steamroller would be even better. :)
-
So how come last time Sylar tried to open Elle's head he got blowed up real good, yet this time...?Was there a reason, other than it sounded cool, why the Haitian's brother was called Baron Samedi? He seemed to have super strength. Was that his power? Is this power in any way relevant to the Voodoo spirit he is named after? Or is the Haitian's brother's favourite movie Live & Let Die?Is Mohinder turning into Doomsday? Is he going to turn into a savage, uncontrollable, unstoppable, monster that destroys Pinehearst and everyone in it? Then threaten the entire world (or at least the town he is in) and it is up to the Heroes to band together to stop him? Maybe Peter can absorb everyone's powers again and face off again Doomohinsday, ending in both their deaths. Not like they have any qualms against ripping off previously published material.
-
I have exquisite timing, yeah?
-
Was it new? Some local church group bought time during Chuck's hour and they didn't show it, so I watched the xmas shows on ABC with my daughter.
Heroes was alright. Is next week the last episode until mid-season break? You came this far, Pennsy. I'd at least finish this arc in the story. -
And slim just left town. At least there will still be Kristen on Mondays (Gossip Girl), BSG's back in 6 weeks and hopefully 24 will be able to pull itself out of the swamp that was season 6.
-
Guest-starring Carl Lumbly and The Awesomes
-
Before they go dark until February 2nd. But really; what's the point? And they dare to bring Maya back into the plot? That takes BALLS.
-
Oooh, can't wait to watch it on hulu then.
-
Maya.....yeah, I was rolling my eyes. And how many times does Nathan change his mind about his purpose in life? Man. Ok, maybe you are right in jumping this train before it goes off the rails.

Mark it down here: Nathan will be the Big Bad of 'Fugitives'.
by pennsy
The seeds were planted tonight, IMO.
-
Great episode, despite the sucky season it's been thus far.
-
That scene was all about Mohinder, how he can't have a normal life because he's ugly. It's his Quasimodo/Phantom (of the Opera, not Menace)/The Beast (of Beauty and) moment.Would Maya have been happy to see him? Sure, he no longer had open sores and things poking out of his skin. But he's still the same guy who stuck her to a wall in a cocoon. By the way, from where on his body did he excrete that substance? Did Mohinder drop his pants, moon her, and suddenly she's covered in goo? Gotta say, even without the skin lesions she'd probably still be a bit wary of letting him into her apartment.
-
Ding Dong, The Bitch Is Elle..errr i meant dead (hopefully, cause I did catch a remorse in Sylar's eyes...!
Seriously though Pennsy... a "shining light"??? Damn, if you ain't some agent of Bell or something like that. i bet that you got your sacred "BELL SHRINE" hidden away in a dark room in your house... Talking about obsessions
man... -
Now, if we could only get rid of the rest of the unnecessary characters, AND get some good writers at long last!
-
It was all I could think of that particular moment.
-
... Let's face it. Elle didn't have a reason for existence. I mean when they first introduced her, she was a psychotic, spoiled "daddy's girl". Later they tried to give her some "depth". The problem is (apart grom horrendous writing), that she was always doing rounds around the bitch persona, which at times was irritating... But none the less, let's just say that I really don't think that Elle is dead. And even if she is, well, Sylar could always repent and revive her. After all he does have Claire's power (and healing blood).
Now, answer me honestly Pennsy: Are you Bell's agent, Bell herself, or just a really obsessed and loyal Bell fan? After all your posts, I really have suspicions of the former two. -
I assure you. I'm a working stiff who had the privilege of meeting her twice in the past year. That I swear on my mom's grave.
-
...but let's face, yet another fact. Bell perhaps in the future may turn out to be a great actress.I do believe that she has some talent at least. But so far, we only saw her in a tween detective show, and as daddy's little bitch. Not roles to be remembered for. Maybe we will get to see something better of her next time. But until then, let's not deify her (or any other "californicated tween") for that matter. And I think we both agree that the writers in Heroes need the whole can of whoopass, though the last few episodes were an improvement if not what else. What this show needs is to rebbot it's self, get a good pace, and fucking keep it that way! I strongly believe that they are still experimenting with it so they can get first season's ratings. Well guess what geniuses: After the damn strike, you will have to really work your asses off to do that. So either do some decent writing, or give someone better a chance!
-
...it would be far better, if they killed Mohinder and Maya, instead of Adam and Elle (if she really dies) this season. Af for Nathan being the big bad...well it could be good if done right. And once more: GIVE US FUTURE HIRO DAMMIT!
-
as Papa Awesome, and Morgan Fairchild, in her MILFieness, was Mama Awesome. Marcus Dixon has defected to the other side since Alias and was the baddie.
-
Pennsy, you still have that photo online when you meet Kristen Bell? I remember you showing that and telling the story. Was pretty sweet and seemed to have made your day.
-
sick of mob shit. hasn't all this shit been done. All this is going to lead to is some urban douchebags with gaudily airbrushed Buscemi t-shirts.
