David Simon (The Wire Creator) gets 2 Pilot Orders from HBO (70's Porn series & Capitol Hill Series)

[Tical]

HBO is coming for Netflix's neck. This series and Scorsese's series look like crack.

And Westworld sounds like it could be better than both.

I forgot about Westworld. HBO bout to have a big 2016

Oh shyt. Michelle McClaren is directing the pilot too.

James Franco Nope not watching that.

Capitol Hill looks interesting,

I love political shows. That actually looks really good.

ETA: From the article.

Set in the present-day world of Capitol Hill, the second pilot is described as a detailed examination of partisanship and the influence of money on national governance. Along with Simon and Bernstein, also attached to the project are Ed Burns, Simon’s co-writer and producer on The Wire, William F. Zorzi, former Baltimore Sun political writer who collaborated with Simon on Show Me a Hero, and Noble. In addition to Show Me a Hero, The Wire and Treme, which he co-created, Simon, a former Baltimore newspaperman, also wrote miniseries The Corner and Generation Kill for HBO


Hope he puts a bunch of The Wire actors in this.
