How have these guys not worked together before? The depraved fellows who brought us American Psycho (the book, at least) and The Devil’s Rejects are now teaming up to develop a Manson Family project at Fox. It’s currently “envisioned as a limited series, but it is in the very early stages of development,” Variety reports. Ellis will do the screenwriting, while Zombie is attached to direct. “I have been obsessed with this insane story since I was a kid, so obviously I jumped at the chance to be involved in this incredible project,” says Mr. Zombie. “After speaking with Bret, I immediately realized that we shared the same vision for this epic madness.”

Wes Anderson’s James Bond pitch, which he would’ve called Mission: Deferred: “The Cold War is over, and there’s no gig. [Bond] goes in to see M, and M is on the phone, and he’s walking around M’s office and finally says [Anderson, as Bond, gestures for M to call him]. And I kind of thought the gadgetry is, like, he has a great coffee machine, and that maybe he gets into a bar fight or something because he has a license to kill, but … and so I never got the call.”
