‘Thank You for Smoking’ Now A TV Series

Thank You for SmokingThe 2006 film, Thank You For Smoking, will now see itself repackaged as a series.  A television version of the Christopher Buckley novel version had been swirling around for some time (it was once considered by NBC) and has now found a home on cable.

The film adaptation starred as Nick Naylor, a spokesperson for tobacco industry.  His M.O.D. squad (‘Merchants of Death’) friends included and David Koechner (lobbyists for the alcohol and gun industries, respectively).  Naylor did a great job doing what he was paid for, yet had a slight change of attitude by the movie’s end.  The Eckhart-free series would see Naylor supporting those ‘more deserving’ while continuing to ride the moral fine line.

My love for anything Aaron Eckhart has biased me against any remakes—though might have been a good option here.  What do you think?  Do you think this could be pulled off?
