LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - TV veteran David Milch is trying his luck again at HBO, teaming with filmmaker Michael Mann on a horse-racing drama.
TELEVISION
"Luck," which has received a pilot order from the cable network, is described as a provocative look at the world of horse racing and gambling told through a diverse group of characters surrounding a racetrack.
Milch wrote the project, with Mann on board to direct the pilot.
During his long history with HBO, Milch created and executive-produced the series "Deadwood" and "John From Cincinnati" as well as the 2008 pilot "Last of the Ninth," a gritty period cop drama.
Following an early start in television, where he worked as a writer-producer on several series, including "Miami Vice," Mann has been largely focused on the feature side, most recently writing, directing and producing the Johnny Depp gangster drama "Public Enemies."
"Luck" follows another HBO drama pilot with a strong pedigree, the Martin Scorsese-directed "Boardwalk Empire," which was picked up to series in the fall.
