Media | The Wire AG to The Wire: Make More Episodes Or at least a movie, pleads Eric Holder By Rob Quinn Posted Jun 1, 2011 6:22 AM CDT Copied Actors, from left, Sonja Sohn, Wendell Pierce, and Dominic West are shown in a scene from HBO's "The Wire".

AG Eric Holder yesterday ordered the creator of The Wire to start working on another season of the HBO crime drama—and jokingly reminded him that "I have a lot of power." Holder issued his plea to Simon and Ed Burns while appearing alongside three Wire stars at a Justice Department conference focusing on protecting children from drug abuse and exploitation, Reuters reports. "I want to speak directly to Mr. Burns and Mr. Simon: Do another season of The Wire," Holder said, to laughter from the audience. "That’s actually at a minimum. If you don’t do a season, do a movie. We’ve done HBO movies, this is a series that deserves a movie. I want another season or I want a movie," he said. "I have a lot of power, Mr. Burns and Mr. Simon."
