'Brokeback' Writers & Actress Reteam For TV Project

From DarkHorizons:


CBS is working on six-hour prequel to the classic 1989 Lonesome Dove mini-series based on Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain adapter Larry McMurtry's novel reports Variety.


Titled Comanche Moon, Australian director Simon Wincer will return to direct, and CBS has tapped Steve Zahn to play the young Robert Duvall role. They have also added Brokeback's Linda Cardellini as the youthful Anjelica Huston, and two brand-new characters played by Val Kilmer and Rachel Griffiths.


The all-important role played by Tommy Lee Jones in the original has yet to be cast. McMurtry and Brokeback co-scribe Diana Ossana will produce.
