A Shakespeare drama is going to get a small-screen
treatment. FOX has acquired "America's Son", which is dubbed a
"sophisticated contemporary spin" on "Hamlet" and is set in present-day
Washington D.C.
Coming from scribe Paul Redford, it is described by Deadline as "part
juicy soap, part paranoid political thriller." The story follows the
renegade son of a beloved presidential candidate, who was recently
deceased. The son discovers his father's death wasn't an accident and is
determined to expose the truth and avenge the murder.
The project has received a script commitment with penalty. Redford, who
had an experience working on political drama when he joined the writing
team of "The West Wing" for five seasons, will executive produce it with
Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.
