Goodfellas TV on the Way??

October 1st 2010 23:55
Entertainment website Deadline this week reported that a possible TV series based on Martin Scorsese's 1990 mob classic, Goodfellas, may be in the offing.

Goodfellas


Whilst there are no reports on Scorsese's involvement, or appearances from any of the stunning original cast, it is believed that Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote the script for the original movie, will be on board to write at least the pilot episode.

Warner Bros, who distributed the original film, are said to be leading the bidding war for the series.

After nearly 40 years in the vaults, Sydney Pollack’s footage of the recording of Aretha Franklin’s 1972 album “Amazing Grace” is to finally get a release, possibly by the end of 2010.

Recorded over two nights at L.A.’s New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in January 1972, at a time when Franklin was at the height of her game following the release of “Respect” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Amazing Grace” was dubbed the greatest gospel album ever recorded and is Franklin’s biggest selling album.

Pollack recorded over 20 hours worth of footage but never got around to editing it into a film. After Pollack’s death in May 2008 from stomach cancer, producer Alan Elliott took over the reigns.

Whilst no release date has been given to the film as yet, a trailer has been released.
