Fargo - season 3 now airing
 
Quote:

Plans are underway to turn classic Coen Brothers movie Fargo into a TV series.

Joel and Ethan Coen wrote, directed and produced the 1996 crime film, which starred Frances McDormand as a pregnant sheriff in a sleepy North Dakota town and William H Macy as a car salesman who hatches an ill-fated plan to have his wife kidnapped.

The movie was a major critical success for the filmmaking duo, who won the Best Director prize when they took it to the Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar for their screenplay. McDormand won the film's second Oscar for her performance as the sheriff.

Now US cable network FX - home of Dexter and American Horror Story - has ordered a script for an hour-long TV pilot based on the film. The Coen Brothers will serve as executive producers, with the script being penned by Noah Hawley, a former writer-producer on Bones.

Shame Steve Buscemi is in Boardwalk Empire, won't be able to have a role

Omah 25-09-2012 11:03 PM

It'll be dreadful ..... :yuk:

The film was just about perfect .... :pipe:

GypsyGoth 25-09-2012 11:04 PM

That does seem odd.

I'm curious to see how it turns out, I really like the movie.

Shaun 15-04-2014 10:45 PM

Starts on Sunday.

Martin Freeman? They hired the guy who always plays Martin Freeman? :suspect:

JTM45 16-04-2014 09:48 AM

Anyone else watch the first episode ?
I really enjoyed it!!! They definitely got the feel of the film down very well.
It said at the start (on-screen text) that it was a true story but just how 'true' that is i'm not sure.
BBT was great, as usual. Freeman was kinda' annoying, as usual....
The guy who played Saul in Breaking Bad has a pretty minor role in it too!

I'm interested to see where the plot goes during the next few episodes. Highly recommended on the whole though! Woot, woot!!!!

zakman440 21-04-2014 05:23 PM

Didn't really like the movie, but this was great!

JTM45 21-04-2014 11:18 PM

The "there be Dragons" speech was amazing!!!

Can't wait for Episode 2 to air on Tuesday!
The second episode is called 'The Rooster Prince' and the brief synopsis is;
"Molly suspects that Lester is involved with the murders; Malvo investigates a blackmail plot."

Ammi 22-04-2014 10:22 AM

Yeah, he's doing really well actually, between this, The Hobbit and Sherlock

..oh I forgot about the Hobbit..I guess he was already a big deal there but USA series are such a high standard now and must be fantastic for careers..I remember 'back in the day' when not many 'serious' actors would have wanted to be in a series...

Yeah absolutely, I was always a film fanatic but I think I'm more of a TV fan these days, it's gotten so good

smeagol 22-04-2014 04:52 PM

The movie is great and this show is even better. I love Billy Bob. He's so good at playing quirky characters.

Crimson Dynamo 23-04-2014 03:50 PM

I loved it. It was quite shocking.

JTM45 23-04-2014 06:02 PM

Watched the second episode last night!
It wasn't quite as eventful as the first but it was still very good. Billy Bob's character has got so much going on. He's one very busy psychopath!!!!:hugesmile:

I love him. He's the best thing about this show. :love:

JTM45 23-04-2014 06:07 PM

Yeah, i've always enjoyed his acting and he's usually quite choosy about which roles he takes on.

JTM45 30-04-2014 09:19 AM

Another great episode (episode 3) last night!
The plot thickens!!!

The chunky police woman is kind of annoying though! She just won't let sh*t go (i guess that's her job though eh, and she isn't wrong about Lester...in a way).

Vanessa 30-04-2014 09:27 AM

I need to catch up on this show. It's far too good to miss.
