TV Buzz David Simon’s next project for HBO is about the Lincoln assassination and the 12-day search that ended in the capture of John Wilkes Booth. Manhunt will reunite Simon with Tom Fontana, the guy behind Oz who also originally adapted Simon’s Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets for TV. In other words: Good times.
TV Buzz An HBO miniseries brings us a new view of war. It seems like a no-brainer that this will be great: The book it’s based on is one of the best accounts of the early days of the Iraq War, Evan Wright’s “Generation Kill,” and David “I Made the F*cking Wire” Simon is at the helm. The miniseries starts on July 13.
