While the validity of Chuck Barris’s story can be disputed—the CIA has denied the television producer’s claims—it undoubtedly made a mark. The autobiography inspired Clooney to put on his director’s hat for the first time with the 2002 film, which was written by Charlie Kaufman and starred Sam Rockwell as Barris. Pursuing the story for the small screen leaves further room for Apple and Timberlake to explore the mysterious story further.
