LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The award-winning US channel Home Box Office (HBO) has hired a team of script-writers to adapt two thrillers by author James Ellroy into a television series, Variety magazine said Thursday.
"American Tabloid" and its sequel "American Death Trip" will be turned into a mini-series set in the United States in the 1960s and will follow three men and their shifting alliances in a turbulent period.
The series will be produced by the company set up by Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks, which was also behind the hit series "John Adams" about the second president of the United States.
Ellroy, known for his gritty, bleak crime novels, penned "LA Confidential," which was turned into a successful film in 1997 starring Kim Basinger, Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito.
