While HBO’s comedy series Bored to Death was cancelled after three seasons back in 2011, and a possible movie has been in development since 2013, not much progress has been reported so far. However, speaking on a panel at the Vulture Festival in Los Angeles on Sunday, the show’s creator Jonathan Ames said, “I did write two versions.”
Fans should not get too excited about a film yet though, since Ames also said of his drafts, “Maybe they didn’t quite work, and then I just sort of stopped. Now a lot of time has passed, but we still talk about it, we have some ideas.” Part of the reason for Ames’ reticence to push forward with the project seems to be dealing with the constraints of the film format. “The main thing is, when you have those movies sometimes they don’t work so well. A movie is 90 minutes,” he said, adding that in TV, “you could really breathe with the characters, and movies are a different thing.”
