The Creators of THE WIRE and OZ Team For Proposed HBO Mini MANHUNT, About The Search For Assassin John Wilkes Booth!!

I am – Hercules!!


Tom Fontana, who helped “Wire” creator David Simon adapt his book "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets" into NBC’s 1993 cop drama, is reteaming with Simon for a proposed HBO miniseries based on James L. Swanson's book “Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer.”

Simon, who oversaw the HBO miniseries “The Corner” and “Generation Kill,” is also at work on “Treme,” an HBO series about post-Katrina New Orleans.

Fontana is no stranger to HBO either, having created its prison drama “Oz.”

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
