Deadwood, HBO’s groundbreaking Western drama that last aired more than a decade ago, has been greenlit for a feature-length movie that wraps up its canon.

David Milch, the series’ creator, wrote the movie, and Daniel Minahan, who directed episodes 8 and 10 of the first season, is aboard to direct. Shooting will begin in October with a release planned sometime for 2019. Cast members are not yet known.

1. Haruki Murakami’s new novel, Killing Commendatore, will be published in the UK on the 9th October 2018.

2. The novel is a two-part story in one volume – Part 1: The Idea Made Visible and Part 2: The Shifting Metaphor.

Due to be published in the UK this autumn, Killing Commendatore is “an epic tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art – as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby – and a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers”, according to its British publisher Harvill Secker. It went on sale in Japan last year with midnight openings and queues of eager fans.

A spokesman for Hong Kong’s leisure and cultural services department told the Guardian that public libraries had already applied opaque wrappers and warnings to both the front and back covers of the book. “The library item will then be made available only to readers aged 18 or above upon request and borrow it,” he said.

The day before we meet in Manhattan, a woman stopped Haruki Murakami in Central Park, where he had come for his late-morning run. “Excuse me,” she said, “but aren’t you a very famous Japanese novelist?” A faintly odd way of putting the question, but Murakami responded in his usual equable manner. “I said ‘No, really I’m just a writer. But still, it’s nice to meet you!’ And then we shook hands. When people stop me like that, I feel very strange, because I’m just an ordinary guy. I don’t really understand why people want to meet me.”
