Buscemi to star in Boardwalk Empire

Rome.  Deadwood. Band of Brothers. From the Earth to the Moon.  These are only a few of the fantastic period pieces that HBO has produced in the past and if one things clear, the cable network excels at this type of programming.  They can now, potentially, add another series to the above list.  HBO just announced that Boardwalk Empire, from Martin Scorsese and starring Steve Buscemi has been picked up as a new series.

Posted by SpoilerGuy on July 15th, 2009

Next month on HBO's daring new Comedy Hung, Ray (Thomas Jane) returns home to find his family murdered and uses his special forces training to go on a murderous revenge spree.  Okay, I made that up, and I know I will score no points with the comic geeks but Thomas Jane was my favorite Punisher.  Now, as for what will really happen in this new series concerning an economically embattled divorcee who turns to using his enormous penis to…
