First Teaser Trailer For Treme, The Wire Creator David Simon's New HBO Show

A simple — yet very effective — teaser for David Simon's (The Wire, Generation Kill) new HBO series Treme has just popped online. Even at a mere fourty-seven seconds, it's already giving me goosebumps. Hunter has covered some statements from Simon about the series last month. Here's a primer: Treme is about a group of musicians and other folks living in the Treme neighborhood of post-Katrina New Orleans. The Wire's Wendell Pierce, a New Orleans native, will play an accomplished jazz trombonist, and Clark Peters will portray the leader of a Mardi Gras Indian tribe. The rest of the cast includes Steve Zahn, John Goodman, and Melissa Leo.
