Kevin Williamson Sets ‘Rear Window’, ‘The Game’ & ‘The It Girl’ Series Adaptations And ‘The Waterfront’ Under Overall Deal With Universal Television
Prolific TV and film writer-creator Kevin Williamson has set up shop at Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Under an overall deal for Williamson and his production banner Outerbanks Entertainment, which was finalized in December, he already has four high-profile projects in development at the TV studio that run the gamut from thriller to murder mystery to a family crime drama. The It Girl, based on the book by the #1 New York Times bestselling author Ware who is executive producing alongside co-writers Williamson and Thompson as well as Fast, follows a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder. The 1954 thriller Rear Window was directed by Hitchcock from a script by John Michael Hayes based on Cornell Woolrich’s 1942 short story “It Had to Be Murder.” Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly, the film earned four Oscar nominations, including for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
