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

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

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

That does seem odd.

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

Starts on Sunday.

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

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!!!!

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."
