One HBO series that never really got an official wrap up was "Deadwood." The series ended abruptly in 2006, and the stars and fans alike where disheartened to hear the news, given that the series had such an intense cult following. But now, according to Deadline, the show may get to see new life on the big screen with a "Deadwood" film.

News of this recent development comes from the series star Garret Dillahunt, who actually played two roles on the show before it was cancelled after its third season.

Dillahunt sent out a tweet on Thursday that was very revealing, but still incredibly vague and a tease for fans.

"So uh....I'm hearing credible rumors about a ‪#Deadwood movie. ‪#Everybodypray," Dillahunt wrote in the tweet.

He further went on to discuss the film being made, comparing it to the another HBO show that recently ended, "Entourage." That film didn't perform so well at the theaters. If that movie was any indicator, HBO TV series adaptations to film are not that profitable.

Deadline points out that the cancellation of "Deadwood" was due to the fact that there were not enough people watching it. Low viewership couldn't justify the massive expense it took to recreate the era of the 1870s in South Dakota, when the land was mostly lawless and exploring the wild frontier was the emerging fad that shaped the west.

What fans would really love to see, though, is the return of Al Swearengen (Ian McShane) and Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) as the pair who fought each other at every angle but still teamed up when outsiders threatened their town.

Both have moved on since the cancellation with successful careers on the small screen. Olyphant recently wrapped up his run on the hit FX series "Justified." McShane will also be returning to HBO in the mega hit series "Game of Thrones."

A statement from HBO downplayed the hype a bit, but did not dismiss future plans for the franchise film entirely.

"In reference to Garret Dillahunt's tweet regarding the rumored 'Deadwood' movie, there have only been very preliminary conversations," the statement read.
