Must-See 1970s Thriller Gets Remake Series

J.C. Chandor, the acclaimed writer-director behind Margin Call (a gripping depiction of a Wall Street firm during the 2007-2008 financial crisis) and All Is Lost (an incredibly minimalist film about a man lost at sea featuring only 51 words of dialogue) will helm the ambitious project. Chandor will also write the series, like many of his renowned projects. 

The writer-director’s production company, CounterNarrative Films, will develop the movie, collaborating with Temple Hill and producer Adam Fishbach. Interestingly—in an exciting development for classic film fans—Coppola’s own American Zoetrope production house will also executive-produce The Conversation. 

And for those who pine for Don Draper’s return, Erin Levy celebrated for her work on Mad Men (streaming now on Amazon Prime), and Netflix’s Mindhunter will fulfill showrunner duties
