Writer-producer Aaron Sorkin, who already has a series pilot about a cable news network titled “More As This Story Develops” shooting for HBO, is already developing a second series for the channel, according to Deadline Hollywood.

I'll watch for that alone.
-
I went to buy this book and i can't find it anywhere for less than $100....FAIL
-
Seriously, I've said it on these forums before, Sorkin's writing is second to none, but I'm not sure that even he can script the stream of consciousness that is Londsey Lohan's life. That girl is fucked up. But this sounds interesting. Let's hope it goes somewhere.
-
Spoiler: it ends with AICN not putting up an obituary even though they do regular ones for people no one fucking knows!
-
One episode should be Thompson coked to the gills hammering on a type writer for 72 hrs. staight
-
Will this show be an endless "walk with me" walking and talking loop through the hallways of the Marmont? I certainly hope so.

Would you demand and Obit for Adam Sessler or Morgan Webb
by Phategod2
Please no disrespect but the guy was not a industry giant. Having and obit for him would be like having and obit for the guy who held the boom in The Dark Knight, but Ebert is a royal dick.
-
He has done other things beside West Wing you know.
-
He's the least talented one in the entire cast.
-
Fuck Dunn! He was an asshole who died drunk at 140mph. He deserves a MADD tv spot.
-
What has Ryan Dunn actually done to deserve an obit on AICN? Its not like he was even a particularly memorable part of the Jackass crew, which if we're being honest is the only memorable thing hes been a part of aside from his recent accident. This stupid meme needs to run its course.
-
and I am fucking pumped for "More as the Story Develops." And about Dunn: How about an obit simply because every talkback seems to be veering to the subject of his death. If not an obit, a dedicated talkback where everyone can argue about how much they love/hate the bearded guy with a toy in his ass.
-
Seriously, dude, you're rich and famous. Take a year off and weave baskets or something. Life is short...and the world needs more baskets.
-
and both need an obit on AICN!
-
Will it be like Ken Finkleman's "At The Hotel" but with famous people?
-
is because he killed himself and his buddy by drinking a fuckload of alcohol and then deciding to not just drive, but speed in excess of 120 mph like a fucking Jackass, in his Porsche. It's a minor miracle in itself he didn't kill anyone else. Lostboytexass, or whatever other fuckin screen names you may be posting under today, drop the constant barrage of obit demands already. If you want one so bad write it your goddamn self and create a whole website devoted to this douche and post it there. <p> There are any number of people connected to the entertainment industry who die every day that are more deserving of an obit on AICN than Mr. Dunne. <p> All of which is to say, shut your fucking yap already about an obit for a murderer who played a small role in a few movies that were barely a blip in the cultural zeitgeist of the times and get on with your life...
-
invented the phrase 'cultural zeitgeist' so where is the OBIT! huh?
-
1 down here's his epitaph: Here lies Ryan Dunn He died as he lived A Jackass

Ryan Dunn is Worthy of an Obit, as much as the other Obscure people who get Obits, who haven't been in anything in 40 years...

When it was rerun on Comedy Central back in the day I watched and thought it was quite good. I just rewatched the first season on Netflix watch it now. While I still give credit for some bright spots in dialogue and certain story ideas that weren't being done, I find a lot of it over sentimental, preachy and goofy. Did Sorkins writing get better with West Wing?

With Sorkin writing it, it will be the polar opposite of 'Somewhere'
by AzulTool
One Marmont story with no dialogue, another with way-too-much.
-
I mean, I know he was one of those jackass idiots and he just killed someone but why the hell would Harry and the gang obit this guy? He wasn't an artist in any sense of the word. Aaron Sorkin couldn't even make this guy interesting, and he made Zuckerberg fascinating.
-
I'm still heart-broken over the cancellation of Studio 60. Sure, it didn't have the grandeur of The West Wing, but it had the same quality of writing, the brilliant Sorkin wit, and a really great cast. I've got all the episodes on my HDD still, and watch them occasionally.
-
was amazing. Too bad pinky and I are the only 2 people on the planet that thought so.
-
...was one of the (if not THE) best shows on television I've ever seen. I was disappointed it didn't find an audience fast enough for NBC. The writing, production and acting was first class. At least I have the DVDs to watch, which I do, often.
