Hoooray Mommy McGibbon!!!
I want to exploit this platform and congratulate my mom (Josann McGibbon Temkin) and her writing partner (Sara Parriott) for their recent success!!! Ya see - they've been a successful screenwriting team for the last twenty years, penning flicks like The Favor, Three Men and a Little Lady and Runaway Bride. But the thing about writing movies for a living - and I'd call this "unfortunate" if I didn't think being paid to write was so darn fortunate - is that you can make a decent living and still watch most of your scripts end up tucked into the dusty corners of the living room credenza. You can brainstorm countless stories, get paid to tell them all, and somehow that doesn't mean any have to end up on the big screen.
So "greenlight" is a really really special word, and the entire family is crazy excited about the following press release that just hit the trades today:
Messing stars in USA miniseries
Cameras are due to roll in Australia this winter on a six-hour miniseries for US cable starring Will & Grace's Debra Messing, in an adaptation of 2005 best-seller The Starter Wife.
Gigi Levangie Grazer's novel is being adapted for USA Network by the writing team of Sara Parriott and Josann McGibbon (Runaway Bride). They will also exec produce along with Stephanie Davis (The Caveman's Valentine) and Howard Klein (The Office) from 3 Arts Entertainment.
NBC Universal Television Studio is producing the show, which follows a woman after her divorce from a major Hollywood studio head, with Laurette Hayden, senior VP of longform programming for USA Network, overseeing the project.
"Debra Messing is both a superstar talent and America's sweetheart. Her incredible range and comedic brilliance made her our first and only choice for this role," said Jeff Wachtel, executive VP of original programming for the NBC Universal Cable-owned channel.
Parriott and McGibbon, meanwhile, are also working on animated movie Rapunzel Unbraided for Walt Disney Animation, and Stuart Cornfeld of Ben Stiller's Red Hour Films is in development with their movie script Staying Power.
Woooohooooo!!!! Amazing!!!! Fabulous!!!!! Terrific!!!!! Insane!!!!!
(Can you tell I'm hoping she flies me to Australia? I looooove you moooommmmyyy...)
