It was released in 2019

The fact that they have aged 10 years doesn't make a difference. Seth Bullock (died 1919) and Al Swearengen (died 1904) both lived decades more. It's not like the goal is to make a prequel.

I believe the movie will pick up some years later, after the fire of 1879.

I wonder how they are going to do it now that everyone has aged so much. Deadwood was an amazing show and it was an effing tragedy they let it just die on the vine the way they did.

The head of HBO said just a couple months ago that a DeadwooD movie is definitely going to happen. It's now even listed here on IMDB as in development.

I'd be down with Bianchi. It would be interesting to see what he does with a feature length project. If they were to go with one of the series directors (other than Hill), he would be my choice, with Guggenheim a close second.

Milch has never directed anything so I doubt he'd do it though he famously did kind of unofficially "direct" the actors the way he wanted on Deadwood before the real director came in. Whoever was officially behind the lens, it always felt like Milch was the guiding influence.
I wouldn't mind Walter Hill, but a series veteran like Ed Bianchi, Mark Tinker, Gregg Fienberg or Davis Guggenheim would be great too. I actually think someone like Bianchi who directed 8 episodes, including classics like "Boy-the-Earth-Talks-To," "A Lie Agreed Upon," "Full Faith and Credit," "No Other Sons or Daughters" and "The Trial of Jack McCall" would be better than Hill, who only directed the Pilot back when the show was much less fully-formed, and who as a true-blue auteur might butt heads with Milch (there apparently were some minor problems to that effect when working on the Pilot, IIRC). I also feel like as great as Hill's direction of the Pilot was, it had some camera-work that in retrospect feels out of place compared to the consistent style of the rest of the series.

Only appropriate to bring back Walter Hill to direct. I believe he's the perfect choice, plus it makes for a nice bookend.

Just spoke with Dan Dority himself, W Earl Brown, and asked about cast, crew, director, set and story, he said the only thing currently missing is the director! Not sure if that means Milch is out or busy at the moment, but either way the ball is rolling.

Wait a minute who am I here?

Nope its likely going to happen. Milch should get started by end of year.

That was never more than talk, at best an insider's rumor. Nobody is holding their breath.
