Cinemax Orders Contract Killer Drama Pilot Based On Max Allan Collins’ ‘Quarry’ Books

Cinemax Orders Contract Killer Drama Pilot Based On Max Allan Collins’ ‘Quarry’ Books

Cinemax has given a pilot order to Quarry, a drama project based on the series of novels by Max Allan Collins (Road To Perdition graphic novel). Written by Graham Gordy and Michael D. Fuller, Quarry is set in the 1970s and centers on a Marine sniper who, upon his return home from Vietnam in 1973, finds himself shunned by those he loves and demonized by the public. Combat-hardened and disillusioned, he’s recruited into a network of contract killers and corruption spanning the length of the Mississippi River. John Hillcoat is set to direct the pilot, co-produced by Anonymous Content. Hillcoat, Gordy and Fuller, all Anonymous clients, executive produce with Anonymous’ Steve Golin, David Kanter, Matt DeRoss and Keith Redmon. The Quarry pilot order comes on the heels of Cinemax renewing its freshman drama Banshee for a second season. Both Banshee and Cinemax’s first original primetime series, Strike Back, which had been picked up for a third season, started off with direct-to-series orders. Last year, Cinemax gave a pilot order to drama Hurt People, whose feature was put in limbo when star/executive producer William Petersen exited.

I'm actually kind of surprised at how critical a lot of the reviews are.

It seems like they focus on how plodding, dark, and dated they found it, when they could as easily have used more positive adjectives like brooding, raw and atmospheric.

One of the most striking things in the first two eps, for me, is the subtle nuance of Joni's accent. Not merely a passable broadly 'southern,' it a good central Louisianan.

Also love Dewey Crowe/Buddy. It's clearly and unambiguously Herriman, but the the hairstyle is somehow clearly Southern, yet vaguely menacingly eastern European.

Loved the Dolly and Porter at the end of ep 3. Heard that at least once a week on the HiFi growing up

Best episode yet, and apparently I'm the only one watching.

Wonder if the author had read NCFOM prior to penning this episode, or if the directors had it in mind making it. There was a definite vibe from it entering the existing framework.

Curious exactly what sections of NCFOM you felt it paralleled? Just the killer/shade hotel/etc. side of things?

And yes, I know that Graham, at least, is a pretty big Cormac McCarthy fan. He's literate as hell. The Quarry novels predate McCarthy, though, I believe... but the series is pretty loosely following the novels from what I understand.


Anyway, that opening visual was pretty awesome in this episode. Also love all the vintage Razorback/Arkansas clothing, since the characters were taking refuge in Arkansas.

More atmosphere than plotting
Southern husband and wife tossed into deadly situation mostly but not totally against their will.
Patriarchal notion of taking care of everything/don't worry your pretty head, despite having an ally with an iron spine of her own.
Seedy motel hideout and improvised safeguards/distractions
Ominous portent of ordinary people and things
Laconic pace while danger and safety hide in plain sight.
Inteliigent, methodical and dogged pursuer.

You're not the only one watching, I really dig this show. There was real power when Joni grabbed Mac's hand as he's walking out of the bathroom.

Best episode of the season. The dialog was top notch, in addition to the plotting.

Season finale was FIRE. Lots of new plot wrinkles and twists in who exactly the Broker is (CIA?). Also: the first heroin lab in Vietnam that was in the catacombs. Definitely looked like same location as Carcosa on True Detective. Going to have to text my buddy, Graham, in the morning and find out.

That medley morphing from Bird on a Wire to See the Light during the bar confrontation was subtly beautiful, and perfect for the singer's voice and style.
