Bryan Cranston’s TV Adaptation of “The Dangerous Book for Boys” Ordered to Series at Amazon
As the book is a special kind of “how-to” book, there’d have to be an episode about who knocks, right?
(via Deadline)
A couple of months ago, Bryan Cranston announced that he was officially developing a series based on The Dangerous Book For Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden.
That project has officially made the next step as it was just bought up by NBC. Greg Mottola, who has directed episodes of The Comeback and Arrested Development as well as Superbad, is set to write and direct the adaptation.
Along with other projects such as the one based on Joe Wengert’s life, NBC’s development slate gets more and more intriguing.
Bryan Cranston Adapting ‘Dangerous Book for Boys’ as a Comedy Series for TV
In addition to producing a web series at Crackle, Bryan Cranston is furthering his role behind-the-scenes with adapting Conn and Hal Iggulden’s The Dangerous Book for Boys as a comedy series, hopefully for TV. Based off the book, the series would follow three boys trying to raise themselves imaginatively without a father.
So, this might be somewhere, tangentially, in the realm The Kings of Summer or Moonrise Kingdom with Cranston at the helm. So, we’re on board.
