Official 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' Spinoff Series In The Works From The Point Of View Of Chief Bromden.

Speaking on indie filmmaking podcast CK Café, producer Paul Zaentz, the nephew of the film’s original producer Saul Zaentz, disclosed: “Just now, I’ve signed an agreement with Ken Kesey’s widow to develop a TV series which we’ll make through the point of view of the Chief for the first season. In anti-establishment firecracker One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, a rebellious convict — played in the movie by Jack Nicholson — is sent to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation in 1963 Oregon, and encourages his docile companions to take more control of their lives and defy the tyrannical head nurse. In podcast CK Café, Zaentz confirms that Fathom Events will re-release One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest this month in more than 1,000 screens across the U.S. to mark the 50th anniversary of the movie.
