Martin Scorsese and HBO's Boardwalk Empire
According to many reports and what little insider information I have, it is very likely that Martin Scorsese will direct the pilot episode of Boardwalk Empire .
The fourth episode of “Boardwalk Empire” – possibly the young show’s best episode yet – reveals that the series is something completely unexpected: It’s a love story. Sure, the trappings of a gangster tale are all present, and the overriding narrative is about how Nucky Thompson consolidates his power and becomes the top crime lord in Atlantic City.

"Boardwalk Empire" won on its first year on the air, beating another hot freshman show in AMC's "The Walking Dead" and "Mad Men," which had won the last three top drama awards. Terence Winter, who created "Boardwalk Empire," seemed ready to pinch himself. "To my family and friends in Brooklyn, I can't believe I'm sitting at a table with Al Pacino, either," he said.

I don’t know about you, but we’re pretty excited for the premiere of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire around here. If you’re looking for intense drama, outstanding acting, writing and direction you should definitely check this show out. After all it comes from the creative team of Martin Scorsese and Terrance Winter ( The Sopranos ) who, individually, have been involved in some of the best movies and TV shows of all time.That Stephen Graham has kicked, punched, stamped and spat his way into the public consciousness is made all the more strange when you discover that in reality, he's possibly the nicest man in the business. As he explains his decision to take his wife, children, parents, brothers and friends for a holiday to Hawaii while he was there shooting Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ("It's something you have to share"), it's hard to associate him with his current incarnation in HBO's epic crime drama, Boardwalk Empire, in which Graham plays a stocky, violent little driver for the Chicago mob named Alphonse "Al" Capone. And it's even harder to see how he managed to channel Combo, the racist thug from Shane Meadows 's This Is England and This Is England '86 .

Crime and Gangster Films are developed around the sinister actions of criminals or gangsters, particularly bankrobbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and violently murdering their way through life. In the 1940s, a new type of crime thriller emerged, more dark and cynical - see the section on film-noir for further examples of crime films. Criminal and gangster films are often categorized as post-war film noir or detective-mystery films - because of underlying similarities between these cinematic forms.
