Excuse me to all those folks who just don't have TV — they have HBO — and have seen this teaser before, but Casa Eichel is sans premium channels and I just caught this glimpese of Boardwalk Empire, a new show exec produced by Martin Scorsese (who will also direct the pilot) and Sopranos writer Terence Winter, about the mob that ruled Atlantic City during prohibition. The pilot begins 90 years tomorrow, when the 18th Amendment was put into effect, with Steve Buscemi as Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, the boss of the crime family that ruled AC for the first half the 20th Century. Joining Buscemi is Gretchen Mol as his moll, Kelly MacDonald (No Country for Old Men), Dabney Coleman (9 t0 5!!) Michael Pitt (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Last Days), Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) and CP hero Omar Little, aka Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire, the ugh-worthy Wonderful World, which was released today). The show was shot in Brooklyn, and not Atlantic City, but I think I'll deal.
In other Wire alum news, I can't wait for David Simon and Eric Overmyer's Treme, about post-Katrina New Orleans, starring Bunk (aka Wendell Pierce) and Lester Freamon (aka Clarke Peters). The trailer is below, but it doesn't get at separate post frankly because Bunk and Lester aren't in it.
So, who wants to invite me over so I can watch these?
Boardwalk Empire is slated for a late 2010 release. Treme is slated to premiere in April.
