John Krasinski & Aaron Sorkin Team For HBO Miniseries

john krasinskiJohn Krasinski is a surprisingly astute writer and director. Did you see Brief Interviews with Hideous Men? It’s an amazing adaptation of the David Foster Wallace book and Krasinki wrote and directed it. Now he’s teaming up with Aaron Sorkin (who we all know is amazing) to create an HBO miniseries about the famed Hollywood hotel and celebrity hangout, Chateau Marmont.

Under any other circumstances, I would say a miniseries about a hotel is just about the dumbest thing possible, but this is the Chateau Marmont and Krasinski/ Sorkin we’re talking about. Sorkin will write the miniseries exploring the decades-long history of the hotel and Krasinski will take some part on the acting side. The actor will also call in his acting friends (and hopefully his wife, Emily Blunt), so expect one hell of a cast. Plus, the Marmont is not some ordinary hotel. It’s been a staple of Hollywood pretty much since the beginning and one of the most tragic events in Tinseltown history happened there when John Belushi fell to his death from one of their bungalows. It’s also the setting for Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere, which is only slightly less traumatic than Belushi’s untimely death.

If I had a stamp of approval, this would be stamped. And stamped hard.
