Chances of the beloved series coming back were about as likely as a fresh gold strike in the Black Hills, but fans will find they’ve hit pay dirt when much of the original cast make their long-awaited return Friday in “Deadwood: The Movie.”
Timothy Olyphant, left, and Ian McShane, reprise their roles as lawman Seth Bullock and saloon proprietor Al Swearengen in HBO's two-hour production"Deadwood: The Movie."
“I love him to bits,” McShane said of reprising his role as the whip-smart Swearengen, though he says, “It's a strange thing putting on those long johns again. The striped suit and trousers, slightly too big in the pants ...” Written by Milch — who recently revealed his Alzheimer’s diagnosis — and directed by Daniel Minahan , the film picks up where the series left off, only a decade later. Relationships may have advanced or fallen apart, and folks may have moved away, but each figure’s rich narrative arc is artfully connected back to their original story.
Bullock begrudgingly turns to his old nemesis Swearengen for advice on how to outfox a criminal, and it’s oddly comforting to see how much the two men still despise one another. Through gritted teeth, Bullock recounts how he plans to take revenge, or seek justice, whatever comes first.
I'm not a big fan of actors saying they didn't love their performance, but I think I would have done it differently if I was better at the time.“I'm not one of those people who watches old movies, I mean, my own old movies,” said McShane, who’s been in dozens of series and films since “Deadwood’s” cancellation, including “Game of Thrones,” “American Gods” and “The Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. “It's like you've done that. It was fun.
