the bunk and cool lester smooth from the wire are two integral pieces in david simon's new television puzzle. the two actors, wendell pierce (left) and clarke peters (right), signed on to simon's new orleans project treme. "treme" refers to a musical community in new orleans. the show will follow musicians trying to rebuild their lives in post-katrina new orleans.hbo has only bought a pilot script. once the pilot is made, hbo will decide whether or not to greenlight a full season. judging by hbo programming co-president richard plepler's recent comments (and simon's already completed masterpiece the wire) i think treme stands a good chance of allowing simon to once again "write" a visual novel.
