I never did get into DEADWOOD, although you would think it was my type of thing wouldn’t ya being a Western junkie and all. I dunno why I never did like it, although I will say that the constant swearing was really distracting to me and hindered my focus on the story and I think Timothy Olyphant might have put me off in that opening episode with his monotone acting.

Anyway, I know a ton of folks like it but I’m afraid those that do have seen the last of their show.

Whilst promoting his new fantasy movie THE SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING (which looks just hideous by the way), star Ian McShane exclusively told Cinematical that the sets of the show are coming down and a movie will not be happening…

“I just got a call on Friday from … a dear friend of mine, who told me that they’re packing up the ranch,” McShane said. “They’re dismantling the ranch and taking the stuff out. That ship is gonna sail. Bonsoir, Deadwood.

It was one of those one-off jobs that you do which has got an extraordinary creative brain behind it, and it kept getting better, and the actors were great. It was a fabulous place to be and work. It was a workshop cum theater cum film. It was an extraordinary time. But everything has to come to an end, babe.”

Should I give the original series another go?

I remember hating and being irritated by the first episode of HEROES then I really got into it after I sat and watched a couple more, then I couldn’t stopped until I had watched the whole series. If there’s one thing about DVD’s and T.V. series is that if you really get into something, your addicted to watching them back to back in a sugar rush of episodes.

So sadly DEADWOOD is gone. Another nail gets driven in the Western coffin.
