I think the reality is that it isn't going to happen. In the beginning days, years ago, they seemed to be affiliated with either Showtime or HBO (I don't remember which). They had the NASCAR tie in back before NASCAR started to become passé. Actors who have been officially "attached" over the years have had to drop out, or the roles wind up being recast. With no actual starting date and no money you can't expect an actor to remain on the hook. IIRC they tried to "crowdfund it" and that didn't work. They lost whatever network tie in they had and now that the 150th is over I think the odds of getting this made are slim and none. Even their regular webpage is gone, all they have left is a facebook page. When you can't pay "GoDaddy" money the odds of you making a TV show aren't good. It's too bad, I know some of the historians involved and if they could have pulled off the funding it might have been great. |
