Lionsgate has aquired the rights to adapt New York Time columnist Nick Bilton's book, Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship and Betrayal. Lionsate is looking to brings this to the small screen with Bilton himself writing and producing the series. Allison Shearmur will executive produce.
Allison sat with the magazine Variety. Having this to say about the project "Hatching Twitter’ will go behind the scenes of a groundbreaking Silicon Valley company in a way that’s never been captured before on television,‘The Social Network’ was a perfect film, and this series will be different, providing a longer view of the work life changes, gamesmanship and personal sacrifices made by a group of individuals who are building a company that will change the way that people communicate.”
There hasn't been any more information released. No air dates are planed, no channels have been announced, and there hasn't been casting new either. More information will likely come in the new year. This could be a very fascinating series if handled right. But we can be assured that it will be over exaggerated in order to add some interest to the subject. I'll be following this closely.
