AMC has hired writers Christopher McQuarrie ("The Usual Suspects," "The Way of The Gun") and Erik Jendresen ("Band of Brothers," "Otis") to pen a pilot following the adventures of surveillance expert Harry Caul, hero of Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar-nominated 1974 drama “The Conversation.”
As in the movie starring Gene Hackman, Caul will both eavesdrop and be eavesdropped upon.
Sony shot a contemporary NBC pilot in 1994 that starred Sandrine Holt ("Rapa Nui"), Molly Orr ("Drake & Josh"), and "Twin Peaks" vet Kyle MacLachlan as Harry Caul. Scripted by Ron Bass ("Gardens of Stone," "Rain Man," "My Best Friend's Wedding"), the pilot never spawned a series.
