    New HBO original series about horse racing ft. Dustin Hoffman as lead character

    Just found this boards new favorite show.
    Guaranteed to be great since it's on HBO.

    Luck is an upcoming U.S. television series set to star Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte. Michael Mann will direct the pilot episode, which is based on a screenplay by David Milch. The series will premiere in January 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup>

    <sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"></sup>

    Plot

    Luck follows a number of characters who are frequenters of the same horse-racing track.
    It will star Dustin Hoffman as "a man in his late 60s just released from four years in prison who's autodidactic, intelligent, and deeply involved in gambling."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup>
    David Milch was quoted in Variety as saying; "The pilot is about a bunch of intersecting lives in the world of horse racing...It's a subject which has engaged and some might say has compelled me for 50 years. I find it as complicated and engaging a special world as any I've ever encountered, not only in what happens in the clubhouse and the grandstand, but also on the backside of the track, where the training is done and where they house the horses."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">[3]</sup>
