According to The Hollywood Reporter, Crack In The Sky will tell the story of a “Don Draper-type who falls asleep in 1962 and wakes up in 2012,” Rip Van Winkle-style. The drama series will be executive produced by Deborah Spera, who has worked as a producer on Army Wives, and Maria Grosso, who used to be a big wheel at Lifetime.
That’s pretty much all we know about Crack In The Sky at the moment, but it leaves us with a lot of interesting questions. Like, what exactly is a “Don Draper-type”? Is it a guy who wears suits? Is it a guy who works at an ad agency? Will he be named Dan Darper? Also, if he “falls asleep” and wakes up in the future, will he be a bearded old man like Rip Van Winkle, or will he still be young and handsome, Don Draper-style? When he wakes up in 2012, will he spend all of his time trying to understand the Internet and Doritos Locos Tacos, or will he somehow get a job and learn valuable lessons about how much society has changed in the 50 years he was asleep? We have a black president now, Dan Darper, and they’re making another Star Wars movie. Wrap your head around that.
