Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are
Eric Ledgin & Michael Blieden(both of LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON) are writing the pilot for IFC’s INTERNATIONAL PLAN, based on their friendship. (Which we’re sure is unique and extraordinary, right, kids?)
Megan Mullally (WILL & GRACE) & Tina Kapousis (newbie) are creating and writing TWO IDIOTS for the very same IFC, about two whacky women living in the Beverly Hills Hotel with their butler/shared boyfriend. (Because that too will be a unique and extraordinary relationship, we’re sure y’all agree.)
Jamie Foxx (yeppers, that Jamie Foxx) is writing/producing/directing an unnamed Syfy horror anthology series. (Which seems perfect to us because word has it that Jamie’s a bit of a horror himself…and so multi-talented.)
Michael Perry (THE RIVER) is writing a 4-hour miniseries adaptation of Larry Niven’s classic s-f novel Ringworld for Syfy. (And we’re hoping against hope that it’ll be better than that channel’s attempt at another s-f classic, RIVERWORLD.)
Michael DeLuca (THE SOCIAL NETWORK) is adapting Arthur C. Clark’s Childhood’s End for Syfy. (Which could be wonderful or cornball as hell…but certainly unique and extraordinary, we’re absolutely sure.)
