Weinstein Co. To Offer ‘In Cold Blood’ TV Event Series

Variety reported today that the Weinstein Company plans to pursue a television “event series” based on Truman Capote’s seminal In Cold Blood. This isn’t the first time the novel has been optioned for television – Anthony Edwards, Eric Roberts and Sam Neill starred in a 1996 CBS miniseries.

The Weinstein project will be produced by Gary Oldman (Bram Stoker’s Dracula) and Douglas Urbanski’s Flying Studios with Kevin Wood penning the script. No official filming start date or eventual air date has been announced.

The In Cold Blood saga has seen its way to the big screen in three incarnations: in 1967 with Robert Blake, in 2005 with Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capote, and in 2006 with Toby Jones playing Capote in Infamous.
