> Sony Pictures Television is shopping a project about the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein with Laura Dern attached to star, Variety has learned.
> The limited series is based on the book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” by Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald journalist who put a renewed spotlight on Epstein and his crimes. Dern will star in the series as Brown.
is this something that really needed to be turned into a source of entertainment…?
Who’s gonna play Trump
I’m not against the idea of some sort of historical/biographic television show on the subject but it feels too soon. It feels like we haven’t even really untangled all of the information presented, and that’s not even counting what could still come out. This feels a decade too early at least.
This new trend on jumping *immediately* on stuff to make tv isnt great. Can we not make a TV show ubtil people are actually prosecuted for these crimes?
this is fucking tasteless with the current politcal state of the country and world and since nothing has been done
Call me crazy but I don’t think we need a whole tv show before all the people are actually held accountable
There was literally just a satirical essay made about this and how ridiculous it would be, I wish I could remember the writer. And here we are, it’s real…
I don’t want to watch this, it seems disrespectful to the victims.
How about we prosecute the pedophiles in the Epstein files before making a film on it
This is very tasteless to do
Ugh. It’s giving Ryan Murphy and not in a good way
We’re getting a TV before anyone has even been arrested
Gross
Surprised this isn’t a Ryan Murphy production. Seems right up his alley (disrespectfully).
Yeah we don’t need this. Especially when so many of his accomplices, including our president, have yet to face any legal repercussions.
Imagine it all ending with “and he became the president of the USA”
This not it. He got away with it. Yes he is dead now but nobody in his client book has faced any consequences, he wants formally convicted. This isn’t a story that should be made for entertainment
So apparently it will be two hours of absolutely fucking nothing happening?
How does it end? With a giant cover-up??
You couldn’t pay me to watch that crap.
Can we not?
Thanks, I hate it here.
jesus fucking christ.
Is Adam McKay Ryan Murphy’s pen name ?
we are going to get a TV show before a single conviction. peak America.
No thanks, just the files, please.
Can we just fucking not??? Our world is so supremely beyond saving. We are getting books and TV series on this unfathomably tragic and horrific crime against humanity before we even see one single person face justice for their involvement. Why the hell does Hollywood think we want to consume this as entertainment? Bunch of evil, rotted black souls running it all
No no no a thousand times no why are we capitalizing on this awful shit via entertainment
LOLZ THEY ARE TRYING TO REWRITE THE STORY LMAO I CANT BELIEVE WE WILL GET A TV SHOW BEFORE A CONVICTION
jfc
I’m shocked that freak Ryan Murphy isn’t involved in this. He’s probably really upset that he can’t force a new set of survivors to relive the most traumatic experiences of their lives.
I really don’t want this when nobody involved has had actual consequences.
No one wants this
Imagine being the actor playing Epstein who gets the call from his agent: “I’ve got the role of a lifetime for you… there’s just one catch…”
Read the fucking room
Yeah, a predatory series that will have no real resolution, because of the vast network of powerful people yet to be held accountable. Hard pass.
Can we fucking not? There has been virtually no justice, no accountability, no anonymity for any victims after the DOJ bungled that…and now we need to see it sensationalized as if we did something about it?
No, fuck everyone involved in this. I’m so utterly disgusted by this. I hope everyone involved never gets work after this, disrespectfully.
CAN WE GET CHARGES INSTEAD OF TV HOWS IN THIS CLOWN CIRCUS
Most of America doesn’t even believe his crimes ever happened. So why is Hollywood even making a series about him and what he did? There’s more than enough proof and America’s government and half of the population keep looking the other way. These people are really that money hungry? This is abhorrent. The victims are still without justice and Hollywood wants to profit off of their trauma.
I think we need to revisit the ethics of the (frankly common) thing where journalists who write down a person’s traumatic story for news value (for free), then sells those details in a book deal, then sells the adaptation rights to the book, especially when the subjects who weren’t paid are killing themselves.
How about we arrest and prosecute the men involved first?? Ffs.
We have a dramatization of this situation before any actual justice. America in a nutshell fr
Let’s get his co-conspirators in jail first, jeez.
What in the actual fuck?
How about we investigate and get to the bottom of it first before we try to normalize it into a tv show?
I can’t put into words just what bad taste this is in. Awful.
Too soon.
Maybe we wait on this until people actually are brought to justice? Not only is it the right thing to do because it’s way too soon for the victims but you’d be telling an incomplete story.
