A Get Shorty TV series? Why not!
Variety is reporting that premium cable network Epix has picked up a TV show based on Elmore Leonard’s novel Get Shorty. The book—which was adapted to the screen in 1995 by Barry Sonnenfeld, forming a key stepping stone in John Travolta’s post-Pulp Fiction career resurrection—centers on a Florida loan shark determined to make it big as a Hollywood producer. The series is being developed for TV by Davey Holmes, whose past credits include Shameless and HBO’s In Treatment.
