Advertising executives, meth dealers, zombies and the music industry? Sounds about right.
AMC is developing Man with the Golden Ears, a drama series about a former superstar record executive who attempts to stave off his own irrelevance dealing with a new boss, fading clients and three rebellious daughters, all while searching for the next big star.
Based on an acclaimed Danish TV series, the project is from Fox TV Studios and has Scott Rosenberg (Life on Mars, October Road, High Fidelity) as showrunner.
When I first saw the headline I thought, “Rob Thomas on AMC? YES!” But it’s different “Mars” guy. Still sounds cool though.
I had the same reaction – except for the “still sounds cool” part…
Ditto.
Triple ditto.
Let me guess, this guy becomes a judge on a reality show and it blows up and then he goes off to his island home in Barabados where he auditions a really hot boy band that should have won said reality show but instead a boring house painter wins and the guy skulks off to the US where he starts another version of this show that eclipses a previous show he was on.
If it were a network sitcom, probably. But this is AMC, so I imagine it’ll be more subtle than that, especially since it’s a drama.
For those of us who saw the Danish original, I can reassure you that it is nothing like that… Great story line and surprising plot. Best of luck to AMC. They bought a great story.
Scott Rosenberg? The creative genius behind “Happy Town”, the US “Life on Mars”, and “Kangaroo Jack”?
What is AMC thinking????
I love Scott Rosenberg’s shows!!
So-if he is involved-I will watch it!
Scott Rosenberg? Who wrote Conair and Things to do in Denver When You’re Dead? Nice. Very nice. Looking forward to it.
