HBO Releases New Boardwalk Empire Trailer

HBO has just released a new trailer for its upcoming prohibition-era gangster series Boardwalk Empire. We have had a few glimpses at the show previously, but this trailer is the first to include any dialogue or indication of a particular story arc.

Boardwalk Empire, which stars Steve Buscemi as Atlantic City crime-boss Nucky Thompson, is written and produced by Terence Winter, a Sopranos alum, with direction from Martin Scorsese. Both sets of fingerprints are all over this trailer. Apparently, Boardwalk is the most expensive project HBO has ever undertaken (which is surprising, given the expense of Rome), and it shows. The look of the show is very crisp and cool, the costumes and sets look great. Winter's and Scorsese's Atlantic City is both glamorous and dangerous.

Boardwalk Empire makes its debut this fall, so as we get closer expect to see more in-depth trailers hit the web.
