Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are
Larry Charles (BORAT) & Billy Crystal (you remember him) are writing a comedy pilot for an as-yet-unnamed network. (Which means it’s a fancy kind of spec cuz Billy Crystal just ain’t Billy Crystal anymore.)
Scott Buck (DEXTER) is adapting Matthew Spector’s novel, American Dream Machine for Showtime. (With DEXTER star Michael C. Hall producing. Funny how that works. The value of networking, yeah! )
Chuck Lorre’s (THE BIG BANG THEORY, etc.) new series, MOM, is about to – or has just gotten – a series order from CBS. (Cuz Lorre is somebody who makes a lot of money for Les Moonves, and the Lessman definitely wants to keep him around…and happy.)
Danny Brocklehurst (SHAMELESS, BAFTA winner) is writing FLEET STREET for Starz. (And he’s perfect for a series about tabloid journalism in England as seen through the eyes of an American journalist. Any Brit writer would be, no? Oh, wait – no!)
