Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are=&0=& (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) is developing SHAKEDOWN, a series about “the underbelly of Los Angeles in the 1950s” for HBO. (Hmm, I’m not really gettin’ that, but wouldn’t it be cool if I pitched that very same idea to Barbie Kligman? Chaos Man strikes!) =&1=&(Fox’s animated THE LUCAS BROTHERS MOVING COMPANY) are developing a live-action series for Fox based on the Lucas Brothers’ lives as identical twins with a goal – to take over Hollywood. (Here’s hoping that their lives are remotely interesting cuz so far the muncher hasn’t seen any series based on the life of a comedian that’s worth watching. Yeah, I’m including LOUIE, which was great until the Louie character on that show started – yuck – trying to rape people.)

That’s it for now, munchaladas. Don’t forget to write in and tell yers truly what you’ve sold when you sell it. Cuz TVWriter™ can’t wait to brag to all your friends. (And, more importantly, enemies. Hehehe….)

Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are

  • Colin Wilson’s ancient novel, The Space Vampires is being adapted into a TV series pilot to be called LIFEFORCE as soon as Ringleader Studios finds a writer. (So get them on the horn ASAP and let ’em know how great it would be if we whoops, you could get the gig.)
  • Barbie Kligman (PRIVATE PRACTICE) is the new showrunner of ABC’s upcoming adaptation of the Australian crime drama SECRETS & LIES, so she’s somebody you should get in touch with pretty damn soon too. (We love the title of this series and also just happen to have complete faith in all women named Barbie – cuz…Barbie, you know? – so we figure this could be a long and successful staff gig for all those who get it.)
  • New network WGN America is putting together THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (about you know what) as a ten part series. Bruce Cohen (SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK) is producing. Why not pick your favorite commandment and give him a call? (And don’t forget to tell him TVWriter™ sent you cuz…cuz…waitaminnit, we’ll figure out a reason eventually….)
  • Chris Fedak (CHUCK) is developing THE WOODS, a haunted house drama, for Syfy. (Haunted? Like with ghosts? But where are the zombies? And the vampires? Ya gotta have zombies and vampires cuz they’re hotter n’ even Satan His Shiny Self now, no?)
  • Angela Ruhinda (interweb hero!) has sold her spec interracial love story pilot, IMAN & ANDY to ABC. (Well, actually, Whoopi Goldberg and Ben Silverman did the selling, but they aren’t writers so fuck ’em. Good luck, Angela! You really are an interweb hero to us.)
