Via Entertainment Weekly:
The former president and bestselling author James Patterson have selected Showtime to adapt their upcoming thriller, The President Is Missing.The novel, set to be published in 2018, tells the story of a sitting U.S. president’s mysterious disappearance with the level of detail that only someone who has held the highest office can know.We’re told the project was hotly sought after by studios and networks, with Clinton and Patterson doing a 16-meeting tour around Hollywood trying to select the right outlet. CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves — who has a long-standing relationship with both Clinton and Patterson (the latter an executive producer on the CBS drama Zoo) — personally helped make the deal.One surprise about the deal is that novel’s hook was presumed to be perfect for a theatrical film, or perhaps become a limited series. Instead, Showtime is turning The President Is Missing into a full-blown ongoing drama series.
I would say it should be called "American Horror Story". But we have to save that for when they make a movie about Barry Obowel. How about "The Island of Dr. More-hoes". Can you believe it, anything and I mean a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g to funnel money to the Clintons. Book deals for books that nobody buys. Fake charity and now a quasi movie deal. Honestly I don't understand why the gravy train has yet to run off the rails. Who is gonna play Billy Boy? For that matter who is gonna play Hillary? We already know they can get a jackass as a stand-in for Chlesea. Pathetic.
