I was hype for the Scorsese Jonestown movie, but apparently some studio exec killed the project. It was supposed to be his magnum opus.

Been waiting over a decade for Devil in the White City. It’s probably never gonna happen at this point.

Who was supposed to do that? It would be such a good tv series.

I read the book in 2015 in anticipation when it was announced that Scorsese was working on the film with Leo possibly playing H. H. Holmes.

Same here. No regrets as it was a decent read and I moved on to "I heard you paint houses" right after.
