Hell of Wheels -- New AMC Western Series Trailer -- Coming Fall 2011
Here's the link to the Trailer:
http://www.amctv.com/amc-news/videos...hell-on-wheels
I can't embed this here and it hasn't shown up on Youtube yet.
Synopsis:
"Hell on Wheels" tells the epic story of post-Civil War America, focusing on a Confederate soldier (Anson Mount) who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, a dangerous, raucous, lawless melting pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. The series documents the railroad's incredible feat of engineering and construction as well as the institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience, and the plight of the newly emancipated African-Americans during reconstruction. Over time, "Hell on Wheels" chronicles this potent turning point in our nation's history, and how uncivilized the business of civilization can be.

to AMC for cranking out another quality looking drama. I'm totally game for a serialized weekly western.

I'd watch just based on AMC's track record for great shows but wow...that trailer looked awesome. Looking forward to this.

Hell yeah -- assuming this will air right after Breaking Bad's season ends. Sounds like a worthy follow-up

I am so there for this! and FWIW, I'd rather watch a great show in SD than a bad one in HD.

I'll add another "hell yeah". Looks great.
One thing AMC really seems to excel at is giving their shows a great distinctive look. This would seem to do the same.

A Western series? On AMC? That's a no brainer. Looks pretty good; hopefully it has better writing than The Walking Dead though...
Nice to see Ted Levine back on television.
