About the Show Comanche Moon
Val Kilmer, Steve Zahn, Rachel Griffiths, Karl Urban, Linda Cardellini, Elizabeth Banks and Wes Studi star in COMANCHE MOON, a new six-hour mini-series based on the book by Larry McMurtry, and the final chapter in the "Lonesome Dove" saga to be made into a movie, will air Sunday, January 13, Tuesday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 16 at 9pm et/pt. Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winners Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana are the executive producers and writers.
COMANCHE MOON, the prequel to McMurtry's bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Lonesome Dove," which was the basis for the multiple Emmy Award-winning mini-series "Lonesome Dove," follows Texas Rangers Augustus "Gus" McCrae (Zahn) and Woodrow F. Call (Urban), now in their middle years, as they continue to deal with the ever-increasing tensions of adult life--Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe (Cardellini), and Call with Maggie Tilton (Banks), the young prostitute who loves him and bears him his son, Newt (Joseph Castanon). Kilmer plays Captain Inish Scull, a Yankee aristocrat and hero of the recently concluded Mexican War. Griffiths plays Inez Scull, the Captain's sexy wife who doesn't hesitate to fill her time with other men when he's away from home. Wes Studi plays Comanche Chief Buffalo Hump.
Two proud but very different men, McCrae and Call enlist with a Ranger troop in pursuit of three outlaws: Buffalo Hump, the great Comanche war chief; Kicking Wolf (Jonathon Joss), the celebrated Comanche horse thief; and Ahumado (Sal Lopez), a deadly Mexican bandit king with a penchant for torture. Assisting the Rangers in their wild chase is the renowned Kickapoo tracker Famous Shoes (David Midthunder). They are joined by their comrades-in-arms, Deets (Keith Robinson), Jake Spoon (Ryan Merriman) and Pea Eye Parker (Troy Baker), in the bitter struggle to protect an advancing western frontier against the defiant Comanches who are determined to defend their territory and their way of life. The Rangers also encounter Buffalo Hump's violent outcast son, Blue Duck (Adam Beach).

When Lonesome Dove first aired, I was driving a truck and would always stop somewhere that I could get reception. I had a little black& white TV and the show was awesome. I think watching it the first time added something to the series. I have since watched it several times in color but still loved the black & white version. Don 0 -
I think you are probably right, but I can't say for sure. 0 -
this is the first of the series, never before seen comanche moon, another, lonesome dove, return to lonesome dove[;)] 0 -
Lonesome Dove was based on the book of the same name by Larry McMurtry. I have never seen a movie follow the book as closely as this one did. It is both my favorite book and favorite movie of all time.
Return to Lonesome Dove, while a very good sequel, was not based on a novel. It was merely a continuation of the orginal with some of the original characters and some very good replacements. Tommie Lee Jones turned down the offer to play Woodrow Call and Robert Duvall had a commitment that kept him from portraying Gus in "Return". I'm thinking the guy who plays the boss in the TV show "CSI" was in "Return to Lonesome Dove" but I might be wrong.
McMurtry's novel, "Comanche Moon" was a good novel, covering Woodrow Call and Gus Mcrae's years before they landed in the little pissant town of Lonesome Dove, Texas. It will be interesting to see if the mini series follows the novel as closely as Lonesome Dove.
I've enjoyed all of McMurtry's novels that I have read. He meticulously develops his characters to the point where you can imagine them in real life.
I hope "Comance Moon" doesn't turn out to be a "Lonesome Dud". With Val Kilmer and Wes Studi,I don't see it being all bad.0 -

Just watched it and was really disappointed. The writing was terrible. The rest was ok, I guess, but I was disappointed anyway. Don't know if I'll watch the rest of it or not. 0 -

I hate to hear that, but thanks for the input. I guess anything that attempts to tie in with a masterpiece would have its challenges.0 -
Soap opera on horseback. Brokeback Mountain without the fumbling with buttons. Pure ca-ca. Two thumbs down. 0 -
Yeah, do us all a favor and don't post so much.
I'm watching it right now and it's very well done. Not as violent as I like my westerns. Just watched 3:10 to Yuma and was a bit turned off by the Hollywood-ized things (thankfully, there was just a few) but the acting and shooting were sweet.

Azex you'll like the end of tonites show. 0 -
Seriously, thanks for the news everyone. 0 -
Read somewhere that the original Lonesome Dove screenplay was written in the early 70's with the intention of John Wayne as Gus, James Stewart as Call, and Henry Fonda as Jake Spoon. 0 -
I liked it.
Nothing could compare to the original "Lonesome Dove". Ain't even fair to compare anything to it.
Taken by itself, It's pretty good, so far.0 -
