One of my favorite films of 2016 is headed to the small screen!
Variety has first reported that Fox Entertainment is developing a series adaptation of Taylor Sheridan and David Mackenzie’s Hell or High Water.
Hell or High Water was written by Taylor Sheridan and directed by David Mackenzie went on to be nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Pictures, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Supporting Actor for Jeff Bridges. The Hell or High Water series will be written and executive produced by Jessia Mecklenburg.
Here’s the official logline via Fox:
When a ruthless oil tycoon attempts to plunder a West Texas ranching community, two local brothers dodge a zealous Texas Ranger and fight to keep what’s theirs, one bank robbery at a time, come hell or high water.
Sidney Kimmel, John Penotti, Charlie Cowin, Marcy Ross, Gigi Pritzker, Rachel Shane, Julie Yorn, and Carla Hacken will also be executive producing the Hell or High Water series.
