In case anybody is still unsure about Hollywood’s feelings toward philandering politicians, big oil intrigue, and exciting production design details, AMC is ready to set the record straight. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network is in the initial stages of producing a new series tentatively titled, Black Gold: The Teapot Dome Scandal. The project, based on a non-fiction book by Laton McCartney, centers on the political dealings between President Warren G. Harding’s administration and big oil tycoons in the 1920s. Kirk Ellis, whose writing credits include HBO’s John Adams and TNT’s epic Into the West, has teamed up with AMC to develop the series.
