Damnit! GOODFELLAS TV Series Confirmed! It Will Be A Prequel

I still hate the idea of Goodfellas the TV series, I hated it when it was a rumor, I hate it even more now that it’s been confirmed! Via Digital Spy, yes unfortunately, it’s all true, there will indeed be GOODFELLAS TV series… based on one of Cinema’s greatest gangster flicks. Author/scribe Nicholas Pileggi who penned the book on which the original film was based, isinvolved with this small screen version, along with the great Martin Scorsese.
O, by the way,..Pileggi told Culture Magazine that it’s going to be a prequel, about the early life of character Henry Hill, played by Ray Liotta in the 1990 classic.

“I want to do it, Marty wants to do it, Warner Bros wants to do it. Of course, you can’t pick up from Goodfellas, since we murdered everybody, or rather, everybody was murdered! There’s nobody left.
“But I think we’re going to figure out a way to do the early years – sort of a prequel.”

The plot is so typical.. the rise to power..
I don’t like this whole deal one bit because we already had a great mobster series called The Sopranos.. and we now currently have a great period gangster series, Boardwalk Empire.
Why in the blue hell do we need another one?! Plus to have GOODFELLAS on TV is like an insult to The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, like they’re not good enough so much so that this one has to exist.
What? you think I’m funny? you think I amuse you huh?! Like I’m a clown or somethin’?! How am I funny? How am I f*ing funny?!!!
