Rebecca De Mornay added to David Milch's new drama

by Bob Sassone, posted Sep 6th 2006 1:06PM

Rebecca De MornayWhen all that controversy was going on with Deadwood, one of the reasons that David Milch gave for the show not returning (other than the problems he was having with HBO) was that he was preparing a drama titled John From Cincinnati. Now that show is coming together quickly. Rebecca De Mornay has just been added to the cast, which includes Bruce Greenwood (she'll play his wife), Austin Nichols (he's John and he's from Cincinnati), and Brian Van Holt (from Threshold).

The HBO show is about the surfing world in southern California. Nichols is a rich guy who comes to the area to take surfing lessons, and Matt Winston plays another guy who is coming back to the area to get even with someone for something that was done wrong to him long ago.

While Milch had no obligation to continue Deadwood, it is a great pity that really interesting, skillful work must give way to the more mundane. I will never know if "John from Cincinnati" approaches the excellence of Deadwood -- I am no longer an HBO subscriber, having "filed my protest" with my pocketbook.

Is that Rebecca De Mornay in that photo or did David Caruso grow a mullet??

Let me speak for all Deadwood fans here when I say that it will be a cold, cold day in Hell before I watch one second of "John from Cincinnati". Milch didn't want this new show to be known as "The Show That Killed Deadwood", but that is what it will always be to me. Forget it, Milch. Never again.
