HBO is developing a feature film that would continue the adventures of Jonathan Ames, the fictional version of whom was featured in the HBO series Bored To Death, which aired for three seasons on the cable network. The film's logline: Jonathan, Ray, and George reunite to fight crime, commit crime, lose their minds and fail at love in a Bored to Death feature-length slapstick adventure.
Jason Schwartzman stars as Ames, and his co-stars in the series — Zach Galifianakis as Jonathan's best friend Ray; and Ted Danson as his former editor George) — would reprise their roles for the film. Schwartzman recently told The Hollywood Reporter that Ames was working on the film's script.
The original series was created by author and essayist Jonathan Ames, who recently published a short noir thriller, You Were Never Really Here; more information about that story, below.

You Were Never Really Here
Jonathan Ames
A former Marine and ex–FBI agent, Joe has seen one too many crime scenes and known too much trauma, and not just in his professional life. Solitary and haunted, he prefers to be invisible. He doesn't allow himself friends or lovers and makes a living rescuing young girls from the deadly clutches of the sex trade.
But when a high-ranking New York politician hires him to extricate his teenage daughter from a Manhattan brothel, Joe uncovers a web of corruption that even he may not be able to unravel. When the men on his trail take the only person left in the world who matters to him, he forsakes his pledge to do no harm. If anyone can kill his way to the truth, it's Joe.
