Did he or did they do it? I mean scheduling conflicts are always going
to be an issue if there are multiple projects underway. I don't know
who is responsible for the delays but taking a few years between
filming a show is always going to be a problem because the actors are
going to want to be working. Especially if they are in Costner's
position to have a passion project and the money to make it.

["'Homicide: Life On the Street' is coming to streaming, according to
David Simon, author of 'Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets,' the
book on which the show created by Paul Attanasio was based. In a new
post on social media, Simon said that NBC had cleared the music used on
the series, and it would be coming to a streaming platform, with
NBCUniversal's Peacock the logical home."]

Lemme guess: Re-licensing cost four times as much as the entire
production budget in the first place.

It's crazy how that seems to be the case. For TV shows and even video
games. I've seen a number of games that were popular enough they were
still be sold a decade or more after release but then had to get new
music because the original licenses ran out.

Taylor Wily Dies: Hawaii Five-0 Actor Was 56  (June 21)

The shrimp guy? Sorry to hear that.

Yeah, he seemed to be a good guy. I can't help but think it was in
part due to his large size. I've got a friend who is younger than Wily
but also similarly large which makes me worry a bit about his
longetivity.
