Martin Scorsese's HBO series 'Boardwalk Empire' gives rich look into Atlantic City gangster life
BEVERLY HILLS - Martin Scorsese doesn't think Prohibition was a bad idea.
"It was a noble experiment," he told reporters here, "coming out of the era where alcohol decimated the working class and so many people."boardwalk empire dvd
The problem with Prohibition, Scorsese suggests, was unintended consequences - though at least one of those consequences has again provided Scorsese with rich film fodder.
He directed the pilot of HBO's new 12-part series, "Boardwalk Empire," which premieres Sept. 19 and tells the complex story of fictionalized booze king Nucky Thompson, who ruled Atlantic City in the 1920s with a politician's charm and a rumrunner's efficiency.boardwalk empire season 2 dvd
With Steve Buscemi starring as Nucky, it's a series HBO likes enough to launch in the middle of the major broadcast networks' fall kickoff season.boardwalk empire box set
"We didn't want to hold it," said Michael Lombardo, HBO programming president.
"This is a show we felt strongly about and we think it will resonate even in the fall."
In an early scene that sets much of the tone for the whole series, Nucky hosts a dinner on the eve of Prohibition, leading his guests in a countdown and a toast to the new era.boardwalk empire season 1 dvd
