Showtime Adapting David Michod's ANIMAL KINGDOM For The Small Screen
We have not been shy about our love for David Michod's Animal Kingdom in these pages, the Sundance winning Australian crime drama that netted Jacki Weaver an Oscar nomination. Based on a real life Melbourne based crime family, Animal Kingdom is quite simply one of the finest debut films that I have ever come across. And soon it may be coming to television.

Word broke on Friday afternoon that Showtime are developing a television series based on the film with John Wells supervising with the original writer-director (Michod) and producer Liz Watts also on board.

With a large cast of complex characters Animal Kingdom is prime material to develop for television, where the longer format will allow for a deeper treatment of many characters who remain on the sidelines of the feature. This could be rather good.
