Kristen Stewart To Play Astronaut Sally Ride As Amazon MGM Studios Nears Limited Series Deal For ‘The Challenger’; Amblin, Kyra Sedgwick’s Big Swing EPs With Stewart; Maggie Cohn Writing


Kristen Stewart as Astronaut Sally Ride Amazon Series Deal The Challenger; Amblin, Kyra Sedgwick’s Big Swing Ep's With Stewart's Nevermind

The series is based on The New Guys, a book written by Meredith E. Bagby, who partners with Sedgwick and Valerie Stadler in Big Swing Productions. In some ways, this has the tapestry to tell the successor story to The Right Stuff, which was based on Tom Wolfe’s book about the culture clash that occurred when the cockiest world’s best fighter pilots jumped into the space race that America was engaged in with the Russians. Bagby tells the story of a group that was called by their predecessors ‘The Fu*king New Guys, as NASA sought to diversity its pilots and crew for the space shuttle program.
