Steve Buscemi might be starring in “Boardwalk Empire,” Martin Scorsese’s drama pilot for HBO.
Kelly Macdonald might star as well. Both are in talks to sign the contract.  So far, the deals are looking good.
“Empire,” written by Terrence Winter and to be directed by Scorsese, is based on Nelson Johnson’s book, which chronicles the 1920s origins of Atlantic City, N.J. Buscemi would play Nucky Johnson, a crafty businessman who operates a liquor distribution ring at the onset of Prohibition. The Scotland-born Macdonald would play Margaret, a smart Irish immigrant who married the wrong man to get out of her parents’ house.

“Empire” is executive produced by Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Winter.
