Starting Tuesday, February 3, the Sundance Channel will be re-broadcasting an updated edition of Tanner ’88: The Dark Horse, written by GBT and directed by Robert Altman. This innovative weekly series tracking the fictional presidential campaign of Jack Tanner was filmed in real time against the backdrop of the 1988 primaries. The show starred Michael Murphy, Pamela Reed, Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City), and featured interactions with real-life candidates Bob Dole, Gary Hart, Pat Robertson, Bruce Babbit and others. Originally aired on HBO, Tanner ’88 won a special jury prize at Cannes for best TV series. For the Sundance Channel broadcast, each of the 11 episodes will be introduced by recently-filmed interviews with the characters, who look back on their experiences in campaign ’88 from the vantage point of campaign ’04. You can read more about Tanner ’88 in this Boston Globe article, or this CNN piece. This weeks schedule: Tuesday, 9 pm; Friday 11:30 pm; Sunday 5:30 pm.
