  • Ostensibly looking to replicate the success of their existing, cinema-inspired period series, AMC is planning to spin a series off of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 film, The Conversation. The original is topical, says producer Erik Jendresen. “Watching The Conversation today is fascinating in light of the Patriot Act. But this is not a series that’s blatantly making a statement; it will still be very true to the original vision of the character.”
  • Another day, another name for the Inglorious Bastards call sheet. This time it’s B.J. Novak from The Office.
  • Meryl Streep will continue her midlife career resurgence as star of glossy chick coms by toplining the latest effort by Nancy Meyers. She’ll play a woman at the center of a love triangle with two men.

    The Conversation is absolutely one of my favorite films. If AMC can approach it in the way they do Mad Men, and I can’t see why not, there is a remote possibility it can be another DVR worthy distraction in my life.

    If it’s like Enema of the State, I think I’ll pass.
