Story Diversion: Deadwood’s Unlikely Reworking of the Past

October 14th, 2007 · 1 Comment

This has little to nothing to do with story theory or structuring a screenplay, but it was too good a find to simply let slip by. Besides if you’re a fan of amazingly great writing then you’re familiar with Deadwood and will have no problem allowing me this quick yet fascinating digression.

Having learned the unfortunate news that the proposed two two-hour movies of Deadwood are in fact never going to happen, I ventured onto YouTube for some clips to alleviate my depression. This is what I found:

Freaky, right?!

Almost 30 years and these two actors are still working through the same relationship on-screen. The transformation over time is both captivating and eerily karmic. It makes me wonder if I’ll be writing the same kinds of stories three decades from now.
