Aaron Sorkin's long-gestating drama set behind the scenes of a nightly cable news show is becoming a reality. HBO has closed a deal for a pilot order to the project, which reunites The Social Network writer with the movie's producer Scott Rudin. Both are executive producing the pilot, which will be filmed later this year.
Awesome, I was pretty ticked when Studio 60 was canceled. This sounds very Sorkin - like Sports Night without the sports? :)
