Rob Reiner recently revealed in an interview with the The Dean Obeidallah Show that he is developing a TV series project that will revolve around the relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The series will consist of around 10 to 13 episodes. When talking about the project he said:
“It’s all about Putin and Trump, and it takes them from their childhoods up to the point where they cross and what happens to democracy as a result of this convergence. I wanna do it because, for me, it’s like … taking the first real cut in history.”
He went on to reveal that he’s working on the project with a writer named Ward Parry, who used to work for The Guardian. He says, “We’re gonna go out to the various buyers after the Fourth of July and see if anybody will be interested in it.” As of right now he “hasn’t gotten the go-ahead yet” for the project. This interview is actually the first time that he’s told anyone about it. He’s obviously looking to build the buzz so he can get it picked up.
Reiner is currently prepping a project called The Spy and the Asset.
