George Clooney (Up in the Air, The Descendants) and Bridge of Spies writer Matt Charman are partnering up with Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures partner Grant Heslov to develop an eight-part limited series about Watergate, according to Deadline.
What do you guys think about a limited series based on the Watergate scandal?
The Watergate scandal took place in the early 1970s after a break-in by five men at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. The break-in took place on June 17, 1972.
Clooney and Heslov will serve as executive producers, while Charman will write the script for Watergate.
