ACS: Katrina換哂劇本同cast
Sarah Paulson變左女主角
Katrina will now be based on Five Days at Memorial, by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink after Murphy acquired rights to the book, THR has confirmed. Scott Rudin, who previously bought the rights to the book after its debut in 2013, is now attached to exec produce alongside Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. Fink is also said to be involved.
Five Days at Memorial explores the aftermath of Katrina at the New Orleans Memorial Medical Center as well as the decision by staff — including Dr. Anna Pou — to euthanize critically ill patients after being trapped in the hospital for days without power. The book explores the attempts to prosecute Pou and two nurses for homicide after an investigation revealed elevated levels of morphine and other drugs in 23 patients who died at the hospital. Fink won the Pulitzer for a story she did in 2009 for ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine.
Paulson will play Pou. A search is underway to find a writer and showrunner to pen the script for the series,
which is slated to begin production in the spring of 2019.
