Martin Scorsese to Direct Bill Clinton Documentary for HBO
Martin Scorsese is currently working on The Wolf of Wall Street with Leonardo DiCaprio [read more], will produce a documentary about Roger Ebert [read more], and will finally get to work on the Sinatra biopic [read more]. Now the man will The New York Times says Scorsese will direct and produce a documentary about former President Bill Clinton for HBO. Clinton said of the project:
“I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have agreed to do this film. I look forward to sharing my perspective on my years as President, and my work in the years since, with HBO’s audience.”
I’m a fan of Scorsese music docs: No Direction Home, Shine a Light, and George Harrison: Living in the Material World; so it should be entertaining all the same – just get Clinton on the sax Marty.
No Surprise as HBO Renews BOARDWALK EMPIRE for a Fourth Season
One of my favorite dramas on TV is getting a well deserved extension as HBO has decided to renew the groundbreaking Boardwalk Empire reports THR. The show is three episodes into its third season, so that’s a good sign of faith that HBO has in the cast and crew to continue to be awesome.
If you haven’t made time to sit down and watch the show, I recommend doing so. It’s a slow-boil show I’d say; there is a lot of character development and story going on here that will keep you interested. When it does finally reach a boil (last year’s season finale left me stunned) it’s the payoff you will have been waiting for.
Boardwalk Empire is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition era. It stars Steve Buscemi as Nucky Thompson. The show was adapted by Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter (The Sopranos). The series has won twelve Emmy Awards and has received 30 nominations, including two for Outstanding Drama Series. The series also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama.
FYI: The first episode, directed by Martin Scorsese, cost $18 million.
