Burning Wheel Productions are currently finalising talks with literary giants Bret Easton Ellis and Irvine Welsh (pictured right) to co-create a dramatised series based on the national tabloid press culture in the US.
Working title AMERICAN TABLOID - the series will journey through the decades following events from a weekly publication and enter into a world where political correctness, morals and ethics are left firmly at the door.
The series will follow a rambunctious cavalcade of pranksters, con men, and rapscallions - in other words, journalists - being brought together from across the globe to change not only the landscape but the power of the press forever from scandalous rumour to political puppetry.
