I am a big fan of Ryan Murphy's work so I will definitely check this out. Sounds like a good show in the works.
Quote:
LOS ANGELES - Paramount is recruiting "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan Murphy to revamp the long-gestating drama "Need."
Based on the novel by Lawrence David, "Need" is a dark saga of depression and adultery focusing on a psychiatrist who finds out that her manic-depressive new patient is sleeping with her husband. No hilarity ensues.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Need" has already gone through several permutations. Chloe King ("B. Monkey") and Jon Bokenkamp ("Taking Lives") wrote adaptations of the novel. At various points, Marcus Nispel ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") was signed on to direct and Diane Lane was set to star.
Murphy is expected to give the project a full rewrite and will then stick around to direct. An Emmy nominee for his direction of the "Nip/Tuck" pilot, Murphy is putting the finishing touches on his feature directing debut, an adaptation of Augusten Burroughs' "Running with Scissors" starring Annette Bening, Gwyenth Paltrow and Evan Rachel Wood.
