Even though the TCA Summer press tour wrapped up yesterday, I’m still in Beverly Hills awaiting my flight back to the wilds of New Jersey. But before I leave, I wanted to talk about HBO’s presentation that concluded the tour, mainly for who was there… and who might be there in 2011.
HBO always presents their part of the tour like a broadcast network would, with an executive session and star-studded panels. And, while this summer’s lineup had some pretty good star power, I can only imagine what next winter’s panels are going to look like. Why? Because HBO showed clips of David Milch’s ‘Luck,’ starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, the dark ‘Mildred Pierce’ miniseries starring Kate Winslet, and a fifteen-second clip of ‘Game of Thrones,’ which lit up Twitter feeds everywhere.
Oh, and we might also see Bruce Springsteen, as there’s a documentary in the works about the making of The Boss’ classic 1978 album ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town.’
This time around, HBO had Spike Lee, whom I talked to during a roundtable earlier in the day about ‘If God Is Willing And Da Creek Don’t Rise,’ and Tracy Morgan, promoting his fall comedy special.
But the highlights of the afternoon were the panels for the much-anticipated Martin Scorsese production ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ and the wonderfully wacky Carrie Fisher, promoting a documentary of her one-woman show ‘Wishful Drinking.’
