Exclusive: The Gotham Group has partnered with MakeSay to produce a film adaptation of Michael Leinbach and Jonathan Ward’s book, Bringing Columbia Home: The Untold Story of a Lost Space Shuttle and Her Crew.
The book and upcoming film are said to tell “the definitive inside story” of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster of 2003. They share the deeply personal stories that emerged in the aftermath of tragedy, as NASA employees looked for lost colleagues and searchers. These employees brought people and communities together to help bring home the remains of the crew and nearly 40 percent of the shuttle, an effort that was instrumental in piecing together what went wrong, so that the shuttle program could retool and ultimately return to flight. Their efforts would become the largest ground search operation in U.S. history.
John Gary will adapt Leinbach and Ward’s work of non-fiction, which was published by...

Exclusive: TNT has put in development Liars Club, a one-hour dramedy/thriller from actress and writer Amy Rutberg (Netflix’s Daredevil), Paul Giamatti and Dan Carey’s Touchy Feely Films, NCIS: New Orleans showrunner Christopher Silber and CBS TV Studios, where Touch Feely Films and Silber are under deals.
Written by Rutberg, Liars Club is a show about a woman with a unique skill set and a dark history leading two very different lives – one adorned in the trappings of Connecticut country clubs and house parties, the other drenched in the murk of the underground New York gambling circuit. After years on the straight and narrow she delves into her past as a card hustler in a last ditch effort to save her family from financial ruin and scandal. It’s part character comedy, part thriller… and all bluff.
Silber executive produces with Giamatti and Carey for Touchy Feely Films.
