Martin Scorsese may helm HBO pilot
By Behind The Scenes TV on Aug 12, 2008 in Directors, TV
Oscar winner Martin Scorsese is in negotiations to direct HBO’s drama pilot “Boardwalk Empire.”
Scorsese already is exec producer on the project, based on Nelson Johnson’s book, which chronicles the 1920s origins of gambling mecca Atlantic City.
Following HBO’s green light to the Terence Winter-written script last month, there had been some speculation that Scorsese might take the helm, but given his busy schedule, that was not easy to pull off.
