We’d say you’ve seen Stacey Abrams in the media quite a bit lately, but she’s always in the media — it’s just the reason is slightly different this time. Abrams has penned several steamy romance novels under a pseudonym, but right now she’s on a press tour to promote her new political thriller, which will be published under her real name. Even more thrilling, Working Title Television, part of NBCUniversal International Studios, has won the bidding war to adapt Abrams’ novel, “While Justice Sleeps,” for TV. (The book just came out yesterday.)
The Hill ~ NBC unit adapting Stacey Abrams’ latest political thriller for TV.
A "political thriller," eh?
So President Trump questions the result of an election and is banned from every social media platform there is; Abrams questions the result of an election and has her novel optioned. Remember how staffers at Penguin literally cried because they were publishing Jordan Peterson’s new book? Abrams’ novel has already won a Nobel Prize for literature.
C Muhammad ~ My thighs are quivering in anticipation.
Better your thighs than hers, Muhammad. Otherwise, parts of California will be dropping off into the Pacific Ocean.
StikeDCorona ~ “Two tons of fun.”
Trevor F ~ Do her sex novels next.
Brock H. ~ Let me guess. It is about crippling delusion and diabetes.
Butterfly_Etude ~ They should make a movie out of that time Stacey Abrams refused to concede an election she lost.
Taylor Brown ~ Election deniers are getting tv shows now? Who would have thought.
LouC_2 ~
Oh no, ribit ... it looks like you lost your place on the book cover to Gropey Joe!
BigSkip ~ What’s it called? The Krispy Kreme Caper?
Juan Onjuan ~ Waffle House of Cards coming soon to NBC.
Rob the Covfefe ~ Thought The Biggest Loser was already a show on NBC?
Just_Mike_S ~ I can't wait to not see it.
Deinfringe ~ A real thriller would be her trying to get into a hammock.
Natasha ~ Prediction: it’ll be a total flop.
Sparkling Jules ~ Another blurred line between NBC and the DNC.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
