HBO greenlights 'Lewis and Clark' miniseries

The adventures of Lewis and Clark will continue on…at HBO.

The network greenlit *Lewis and Clark*, a six-hour miniseries starring
Casey Affleck as Meriwether Lewis and Matthias Schoenaerts as William
Clark. Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming, announced the news
today.

John Curran is directing the miniseries, which he is also writing alongside
Michelle Ashford and Edward Norton. The story, which is based on Stephen E.
Ambrose’s *Undaunted Courage, *will follow the Corps of Discovery and its
captains, Lewis and Clark, as they trek through new terrain to deliver
President Jefferson’s message of sovereignty and search for an all-water
route to the Pacific.

“In *Lewis and Clark*, we can see American idealism and the breathtaking
natural beauty of the continent, as well as the complexities and tragedies
of what came to be known as America’s ‘manifest destiny’,” Lombardo said.
“We are tremendously excited to bring together this incredible group of
talents to tell a seminal American story.”

Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, Norton, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Tim Kelly, and
Adam Leipzig are executive producing.

Production is set to begin this summer.
