http://www.slashfilm.com/to-live-and-die-in-la-tv-series/William Friedkin‘s film To Live and Die in L.A., released in 1985, is a compelling and vividly stylish ’80s thriller featuring William Peterson, Willem Dafoe, and John Pankow in the story of two Secret Service agents on the trail of a counterfeiting operation. The film was a return to form of sorts for Friedkin, and now the story might offer him that opportunity again.
Friedkin is directing a To Live and Die in L.A. TV series for WGN America.
Deadline reports, saying that the “drama series” version of To Live and Die in L.A. has Friedkin directing and exec producing, based upon ideas he hatched with Robert Moresco, who won the Oscar for co-writing Crash with Paul Haggis. Moresco will script the series and act as an exec producer.
Basically, if the involved parties — WGN, MGM Television, and Tribute Studios — like the first scripts, the show could go straight to series...
