Even in the dramatic rise of American television there are some standout examples of the very highest quality, when we see the particular alignment of a strong and creative producer, an actor perfect for the leading role and the creation of a seductive and intriguing world. Boardwalk Empire is one such show, and one of [...]
The first season of HBO’s epic prohibition drama is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on January 9th, and we have three DVD boxsets to give away. Executively produced by Oscar®-winning director Martin Scorsese and from the pen of The Sopranos scribe Terence Winter, BOARDWALK EMPIRE: The Complete First Season received 18 Emmy® Award nominations, winning [...]
We’ve been given this fantastic featurette called ‘Designing and Empire’ from the awesome TV series that is HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. I look forward to watching it every week and it is definitely one of my favourite shows of 2011 (along with A Game of Thrones!) This featurette has interviews with Production Designer Bob Shaw and [...]
Ben Affleck competes for the title of Hollywood’s most in demand director with two big gigs in the works, one featuring his old Good Will Hunting buddy, and another which marks quite a departure from his previous work. Collider are reporting that the duo may reteam (it hasn’t been officially announced as yet) in a [...]
The series has only just begun but following the ‘critical approval’ for the second season which hit HBO in the US on 25th September, a third series has already been green-lit! Hooray I hear you cry! The first series was absolutely fabulous and I can’t wait to start watching the second. It stars Steve Buscemi, [...]
Sky retained a large amount of secrecy surrounding the launch of their new production. After initially being asked for my measurements (waist, height, hips, bra size) and having no information but “all will be revealed at the event,” curiosity was certainly an understatement. Only a few days before, it was finally revealed we were to [...]
The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards were held in the early hours of this morning, and though I unfortunately wasn’t able to watch it, the results are in, courtesy of the Emmys’ own site, with so much great talent being deservedly well recognised. For those unable to watch the show, you can catch it on Five [...]
The first season of Boardwalk Empire was released in America to rave reviews towards the end of last year, and I’d say there’s a good chance that it will do the same with its second season, which HBO have just released a new trailer for. Whilst America got it in September, Sky’s new channel, Sky [...]
Brian Kirk is in talks to direct Thor 2 for Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios. Kirk, best known for directing episodes of Game of Thrones Dexter, Luther and Boardwalk Empire, will take over from Kenneth Branagh, who declined the chance to return to the directors chair for the sequel. Thor 2 is set for [...]
Not all that long ago, TV was very much the poor relation when it came to filmed entertainment. Most shows were essentially variations on the soap opera. Although there were a few exceptions, for the most part, they may have been set in hospitals, or police stations, or space, but at their heart they were [...]
Vanity Fair have broke the news that Kelly MacDonald (Choke) will be playing The Gray Lady, aka the Ghost of Ravenclaw in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Despite the fact filming on the final installment has now wrapped, the casting news has previously been unreported. Kelly MacDonald made her acting debut in Danny Boyle’s [...]
This probably won’t come as a surprise for those who have been keeping track of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire in the blogosphere and tweetscape, but Vulture have reported that the twenties-set gangster show has been green-lit for a second series. Having premiered in the US on Sunday evening, it was watched by 4.8 million viewers. When you take [...]

The deal, which includes access to previous HBO series’ including Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Sopranos, will see all HBO programmes shown on UK Sky channels shortly after their US premieres.

Coming to HBO in America this Autumn is Boardwalk Empire, a prohibition drama adapted by Terence Winter (The Sopranos) from a Nelson Johnson book. The pilot is directed by Martin Scorsese and the series has currently been picked up for twelve episodes. I’m really hoping this comes to the UK soon as I’m really looking [...]
