LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A TV miniseries based on the late journalist David Carr’s bestselling memoir is in development.
AMC and Sony Pictures Television said Monday that “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk is set to play Carr.
Carr, who was a media columnist for The New York Times, died last year. His 2008 memoir, “The Night of the Gun,” details his path from drug addiction to respected journalist.
The six-part miniseries will be written by Shawn Ryan, whose credits include “The Shield.”
The AMC debut date for the project was not announced.
