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."
