HBO Miniseries: Lewis and Clark

[TheDarkKnight]

HBO has officially greenlit Lewis and Clark, a six-hour miniseries that will chronicle the pair's exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. Starring Casey Affleck as Meriwether Lewis and Matthias Schoenaerts as William Clark, Lewis and Clark has even bigger names serving as executive producers. Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton are among seven people backing the miniseries. It's based on the book Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, who also wrote Band of Brothers — another project Hanks famously helped bring to HBO in collaboration with Steven Spielberg.

I gotta say, I love the fact that HBO is dedicated to such productions. I am a sucker for them

Won't see it until next year, I bet, but it is something to look forward to.

At first I was wondering if the thread title was a mistake. Well it actually is, because it is Lewis, not Louis.

Ah man ust when I was thinking "There is not enough Superhero things in todays media" Superman comes along and saves us all.

Edit: Wait this is not Superman?


Thread title edited to avoid confusion.

As far as misspelling goes it was pretty coincidentally funny




However as for the actual topic, what stands out to me is the creme-de-la-creme of Hollywood profiles backing this, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton serve as producers. So I'll keep an eye on this
