David Chase, aka the creator of Kiki's all-time favorite show The Sopranos, is back. Chase is reuniting with HBO to develop a miniseries entitled "A Ribbon of Dreams" based around the early days of Hollywood. Chase is not only writing the miniseries, but will also be directing a few of the episodes as well. "A Ribbon of Dreams" will revolve around a cowboy and an mechanical engineer who form an unlikely partnership in 1913 to produce motion pictures. The series will follow them as they work for D.W. Griffith and then eventually with such Hollywood legends as John Ford, John Wayne, Bette Davis, Billy Wilder, and Raoul Walsh. The series will track the growth of Hollywood from the time of silent Westerns to the golden age of Hollywood.
For any fellow fans of The Sopranos, that David Chase is developing a series about old Hollywood glamour comes as no surprise. Between Tony's predilection for watching old movies and talking about Gary Cooper to Christopher's desire to break into Hollywood and become a filmmaker, Chase has always shown is love for the entertainment business.
All in all, great news for HBO, David Chase, and Kiki.
