HBO Shows in Development?

[DeToxRox]

I read in the 300 thread something about a show named Preacher in development. I heard a show being pitched regarding an NBA Expansion Team as well as Mike Epps having a show.

I can't find any good info on shows in development so does anyone have any insight they can provide?

Good pull WVU, appreciate it.

It didn't list another series coming up for HBO, a Vampire series starring Anna Paquin called "True Blood", being produced by Alan Ball of Six Feet Under:

hxxp://pro.imdb.com/title/tt0844441/

[timmynausea]

I never would've guessed it 2 months ago, but I am looking forward to A Song of Fire and Ice far more than True Blood. I was a huge Six Feet Under fan, so I was really hyped about True Blood, but I read a couple of books in Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series that the show will be based on. They are essentially vampire romance novels, and I don't have a vagina so I was left cold. I'm still curious to see what Ball will do with it, but...

I started reading George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series a couple weeks ago, and I was really blown away by the first book. I'm into the second now, and I can't wait for the show.

Ugh. Mike Epps' stand-up act is horrible. He's basically Chris Rock for the brainless:

"Mothafucka! Nigga! Mothafuckin' NIGGA! Bitch ain't even suckin it right, NIGGA!"

And that's without even the slightest whisper of irony.

Please don't give him a show, HBO!

Ament to that.

Just read the other day that HBO has greenlit a miniseries based off of the book Generation Kill, detailing a marine recon unit in the Iraqi War. I haven't personally read the book, but I hear good things, and I did read One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick who I hear is one of the people followed in the book as well.

David Simon and Ed Burns from The Wire are on board to write and exec-produce.

Should be a great one, very anxious to see it. I'm ready for a modern day Band of Brothers. :)

I've read the Preacher comic book which I believe is what the tv show is based off of. Should be a very good series if this is true.

It should be, but given the outcry from the religious folks about movies like the "Da Vinci Code" and that short-lived TV show starring Aiden Quinn as the drunk priest who talked to Jesus, these people will storm HBO's gate if HBO stays faithful to the comics.

I mean, you have the descedent of Christ as a mentally retarded, inbred, poop-throwing moron, not to mention the very, very unflattering portrayal of God, Himself, as a cowardly, vindicitive, manipulative diety.

That's just some of what goes on...
