Cinemax Accumulates Aaron Sorkins Pilot To Series

It’s official: Cinemax has acquired Aaron Sorkin’s hourlong cable news network pilot to series. The now untitled drama (formerly More Because This Story Evolves), that has been an online lock for any series order, focuses on a cable news anchor (Shaun Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), his newsroom staff (Alison Pill, John Gallagher, Junior., Olivia Munn, Dev Patel, Thomas Sadoski) as well as their boss (Mike Waterston). Together they put down on the loyal and quixotic pursuit to perform the news well when confronted with corporate and commercial obstacles as well as their personal entanglements. Sorkin authored the pilot after extended research throughout that they stayed at Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews MSNBC shows in addition to behind-the-moments of Fox News Funnel and CNN programs. Sorkin executive created the pilot, that was directed by Greg Mottola, with Scott Rudin and Alan Poul. This really is Sorkin’s 4th series after Sports Evening, the Emmy-winning Free Airline Wing and Studio 60 About the Sunset Strip and the first on cable. Sorkin, who won an Academy Award in March for penning The Social Networking, has become the 2nd author-creator to complete an Cinemax series immediately after winning an Oscar. Alan Ball adopted his Academy Award for American Beauty with Cinemax’s Six Ft Under.
