AMC, which is giving both HBO and Showtime a run for their money in terms of original programming, has come up with another new series that definitely looks like a winner. "Hell on Wheels" is a western drama that follows former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount, who I confess to not knowing anything about. He's on my radar now!), on a mission for vengeance who ends up crossing paths with the Union Pacific Railroad’s western construction. The cast also includes Common as Elam, Dominique McElligott as Lily, Colm Meaney as Durrant, Phil Burke as Mickey and Tom Noonan as the Rev. Nathaniel Cole. Check out the newest trailer:

 

Does that look cool or what? I'm always up for a good western done right. If you like what you see, there are featurettes and longer vids over at the amctv.com site. Meanwhile, enjoy the pics. "Hell on Wheels" debuts Sunday November 6 at 10pm E/9C
