Some news seems too good to be true friends. It appears that Robert Rodriguez is shopping around a women in prison project to television networks, as a starring vehicle for Rose McGowan! We get this crazy news thanks to our friends over at comingsoon:
Director Robert Rodriguez is shopping around “Women in Chains!” a violent drama set at a woman’s prison starring his fiancee, Rose McGowan. The spec script, written by Josh Miller and Mark Fortin, has been sent to a number of networks, including NBC and FX.
McGowan is set play one of five chained women at the center of the show, which Rodriguez is expected to direct. The two first worked together on last year’s “Planet Terror,” Rodriguez’s homage to 1970s exploitation flicks.
If Robert Rodriguez puts a women in prison television series on the air starring Rose McGowan, I will proclaim him king! I’m not a huge television watcher, but this series would certainly tie me to the tube every week. I am uncertain what the odds are for this getting on the air; but I am just tickled that it’s being shopped around.
This may not even be a series, but a made for TV movie spectacular – it’s hard to tell from the above news. I just know that if Rodriguez brings half the gritty awesomeness of planet terror to this women in prison project – I will overflow with glee.
We will be sure to keep you posted on this project; in the meantime I will be using voodoo to make it so.
