HAVE GUN – WILL TRAVEL















My cup runneth over. Encore Westerns is now running episodes of Have Gun – Will Travel daily at 6.40pm (Pacific). It was the total favorite TV western series of my childhood. Better even that Maverick or Wanted Dead or Alive. (And I still own a genuine Have Gun lunchbox.) Back in 2008, there were ugly rumors that a movie was being planned with Eminem as Paladin. Mercifully that now seems to have gone away. I don’t think I’d like to see a Have Gun – Will Travel movie, unless, of course, I was hired to write it.

  2. When I was a kid in the UK maybe 50% of our TV was American. And we only had two channels.

  6. Damned if I know. They don't let writers do casting. Maybe James Franco, if he could toughen up a bit, or Benicio Del Toro, if he could lose the accent.
