The latest title to be added to that ever growing list is the 2006 dramedy Thank You For Smoking, the debut feature from director Jason Reitman, who would go on to greater levels of fame directing films like Juno and Up in the Air.
Thank You For Smoking starred Aaron Eckhart as smooth-talking corporate lobbyist Nick Naylor, spokesmen for the tobacco industry.
According to Variety, a company called Keshet Studios is currently developing a TV adaptation of Thank You For Smoking, although the satirical story of Nick Naylor will not simply be retold.
Season 1 will focus on the battle over gun control, and be titled Thank You For Shooting.
