AMC and Sony Pictures Television today announced an agreement to develop journalist David Carr’s searing and poignant bestselling memoir The Night of the Gun as a six-part miniseries on AMC, with Bob Odenkirk attached to write.
The Night of the Gun is an incredible tale of a journalist’s search for the truth about the most painful subject of his career — himself.
Odenkirk and Ryan are both executive producers, along with Marc Provissiero of Odenkirk-Provissiero and Joshua Astrachan of “Animal Kingdom,” which originated the project.
“I couldn’t be more honored to help bring his story to life, especially with the immensely talented Bob Odenkirk as an actor and creative partner.”
