The Discovery Channel earlier this week announced an eight-part drama series about the Kaczynski case called Manifesto, in which Paul Bettany, as previously announced, will portray the bomber.
The Unabomber was a mysterious domestic terrorist who operated for nearly 20 years, sending crude homemade bombs to various airlines and universities that killed three people and injured more than 20.
The word now, according to THR, is that Sam Worthington (Avatar) is co-starring as Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald, the noted FBI profiler who played a major role in Kaczynski’s ultimate capture.
Greg Yaitanes (Quarry, Banshee) is the showrunner, and the series comes from both Lionsgate and Kevin Spacey’s production company.
