“American Psycho” author Bret Easton Ellis and “Trainspotting” author Irvine Welsh are both in talks to co-create “American Tabloid,” a new dramatized yet satirical series for Burning Wheel Productions.
The series follows a “rambunctious cavalcade of pranksters, con men and rapscallions, in other words, journalists brought together from across the globe to change not only the landscape but the power of the press forever from scandalous rumor to political puppetry.”
The filmmakers expect the deals to be closed in coming weeks, with a development schedule to swiftly be put in place. Producer Shelley Hammond says “we always knew we would require writers who don’t hold back and go way further than most would dare.”
