Bob Odenkirk Is Going to Play David Carr

AMC miniseries will channel the redemptive power of the late journalist's memoir.

Five years after the documentary Page One touched on David Carr’s personal triumphs, Hollywood is preparing a full look at the late New York Times columnist’s life. The project, announced today, will be a six-part AMC miniseries based on Carr’s memoir The Night of the Gun, to be produced in partnership with Sony Pictures Television.

From the announcement:

“I read David’s story when it came out and was wildly entertained by his saga,” says Bob Odenkirk, who will play Carr.
