No Script Yet for HBO’s Planned Deadwood Movie
The Deadwood movie still isn't any closer to being a reality than it was six months ago. The good news, though, is that HBO is still looking to get the David Milch project made.
Deadwood has been off the air for more than a decade, but in recent years there's been a groundswell to see the story continued in a TV movie. In 2015, HBO acknowledged that there had been "preliminary conversations" to resurrect Deadwood. Then-HBO president Michael Lombardo confirmed in January 2016 that creator David Milch had the greenlight to move forward to the project.

Nintendo Switch: Hands On with the Next Nintendo Console
One look at Nintendo Switch and you could almost trace back the DNA of devices that came before it. This new console from Nintendo has two playful new controllers, called JoyCon, attached on each side that echo features of the intuitive (and super successful) Wii remote. The Switch also has a touchscreen, a major feature of the company’s last two portable devices and its current home console, the unsuccessful Wii U. Even though all of these components harken back to the company’s past, Nintendo Switch feels focused on a fun new future.
Where Wii U was complicated and often cumbersome, the Switch is simple to understand the minute you see it. It’s a portable gaming device that can fit into a dock and outputs to your TV. It’s strong enough to run massive, open-world games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and or bring the vibrant race tracks of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to life on the go (and both look great on the system’s small screen).
