| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | NEW YORK (Variety) - CBS has purchased rights to "American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing," and will use the book by Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck as the basis for a mini-series about the deadliest act of terrorism on American soil. McVeigh, convicted of detonating a homemade bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Office Building, killing 168 people, including 19 children, was executed earlier this week. The project was set up by Sunta Izzicupo, CBS' senior vice president of movies and mini-series. The drama will be produced by Artists Television Group and Gerry Abrams' Cypress Point. Abrams is coming off the TNT mini-series "Nuremberg" and is working on ABC's "Detour," a TV movie about the fiery romance between screen queen Lana Turner and Johnny Stompanato, who was killed by a knife wound inflicted by Turner's daughter. The authors of "American Terrorist" got 75 hours of taped interviews with McVeigh and access to his family, and the book fueled a press frenzy because of comments the killer made that indicated he felt no remorse for the bombing. But McVeigh won't be the focus of the mini-series, said Abrams, who's about to seal a top writer for the project. "The mini-series we want to make will follow the template of 'Traffic,' where seemingly unrelated people are involved in a common crisis," Abrams said. "When I read the book, I was left feeling that because so much attention had been devoted to McVeigh, that the public was unaware of so many individual acts of heroism from people involved in the Oklahoma City incident." Among the heroes, he said, was the cop who pulled over McVeigh's getaway car, which the killer had stripped of license plates. That led to a chain of events and good fortune that had McVeigh pinned as the prime suspect within 24 hours of the bombing. Abrams said the last thing he wanted to do was "further McVeigh's legacy," though there will be some dramatization of how a kid from a middle-class family becomes disillusioned enough to commit such a heinous act.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | That's Spike Jonze? I know a ton of his work (my new thing is film), but I'm pretty sure I didn't know that was him. It's there, hiding in the back of my mind... something I saw on TV about him might have mentioned that. My head hurts.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Michael Rapaport would do a real good job at capturing the angst, twisted logic and bizzare sense of ethics needed to convincingly play McVeigh. For more on this, rent "Higher Learning." | ||||
