Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner, under their 2929 Productions banner, and Jeff Skoll for Participant will return as executive producers, joined by Miura Kite (Participant) and Haley Jones (2929) and co-executive producer Rebecca Arzoian (Smokehouse).<\/p>\n<p>The project will be developed under AMC Networks\u2019 \u201cscripts-to-series\u201d model, which opens writers\u2019 rooms to develop prospective series that, in success, move straight to series.<\/p>\n<p>The series follows Sy Steingartner, a young cameraman for Edward R. Murrow\u2019s <em>See It Now<\/em>, who is forced to juggle his admiration for Murrow with his own ambition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a massive fan of the movie, I didn\u2019t want to copy it or just do a facsimile of it,\u201d said showrunner Jonathan Glatzer. \u201cSo, we\u2019ve expanded the world to show how the division and hysteria of the times seeped into every aspect of daily life. I suppose it\u2019s more of an origin story of where we are today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAMC is known for intriguing, deep-rooted characters that leap off the screen and into the cultural zeitgeist,\u201d said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. \u201cSy Steingartner fits right in with AMC\u2019s icons, and we are excited to develop the character and series. We\u2019re huge fans of Jonathan\u2019s expert storytelling gifts, George and Grant\u2019s producing prowess, Grant\u2019s directing skills, and the vigorous talents of Mark, Todd and Jeff, and we\u2019re elated to work with all in this new endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are exceedingly proud of the Oscar-nominated <em>Good Night, and Good Luck<\/em> film, and its themes remain frighteningly relevant today, as new threats to democracy arise and trust in the press continues to erode,\u201d said Participant\u2019s CEO David Linde. \u201cWe are proud to work with AMC, Smokehouse and 2929 to expand on the world of the film in this thrilling new series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Good Night, and Good Luck<\/em> and the pressures faced by the men and women of the Murrow newsroom are more timely now than ever,\u201d said Todd Wagner, CEO of 2929 Entertainment. \u201cWe are thrilled to reteam with our partners George Clooney, Grant Heslov and Participant to bring Jonathan Glatzer\u2019s vision of Murrow to new audiences. AMC\u2019s long history of character-driven storytelling makes this the ideal collaboration for the new series adaptation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMC Networks has opened up a writers\u2019 room to develop a series based on\u00a0Good Night, and Good Luck for AMC and AMC+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":17839,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[5321,138,1467,1008,5322,1009,5323,5324,5325,1013,5326,5327],"class_list":["post-17838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-2929-entertainment","tag-amc","tag-amc-networks","tag-george-clooney","tag-good-night-and-good-luck","tag-grant-heslov","tag-jonathan-glatzer","tag-mark-cuban","tag-participant","tag-smokehouse-pictures","tag-todd-wagner","tag-writers-room","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
