David Ellison’s Skydance is developing a small-screen version of the ’70s conspiracy thriller Three Days Of The Condor, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a project that piggybacks on TV’s current nostalgic affection for remaking old movies, as well as our society’s fascination with a quaint, bygone era when you couldn’t trust the government. Sydney Pollack’s original film found a beautifully feathered Robert Redford playing a CIA operative whose coworkers are all murdered, ensnaring him in a vast conspiracy that reveals shadowy, manipulative forces working under the aegis of U.S. intelligence-gathering. But of course, Richard Nixon is dead and things are so much better now, which is why it’s so much fun to revisit this scenario as escapist fantasy.
