And it’s not a moment too soon, since HBO has become a wasteland of anything worth watching. (Feel free to disagree with me…) Today’s announcement says The Sopranos creator will develop a miniseries “about the invention of cinema and subsequent growth of the Hollywood film industry” entitled A Ribbon Of Dreams (which takes its name from Orson Welles’ description, “A film is a ribbon of dreams.”) Beginning in 1913, it will follow two men, “one a college-educated mechanical engineer, the other a cowboy with a violent past, who form an unlikely producing partnership as employees of D.W. Griffith and together become pioneers and then powers for a time in motion pictures”. Crossing career paths with John Ford, John Wayne, Raoul Walsh, Bette Davis, Billy Wilder and others, the miniseries will cover the age of rough-hewn silent Westerns, to the golden era of talkies and the studio system, to the auteur movement, to television, and finally to the present day. - From Nikki Finke
