Film director
Bill Condon is working in television with
a new dark comedy sit-com for Showtime, working title
The C Word. Because Condon wrote and directed the film
Kinsey, starring Laura Linney and Liam Neeson, my first thought was that
Eve Ensler, author of
The Vagina Monologues might be a consultant for the show. But no, it's not that C word, nor the one used for shock value in Jon Stewart's look at Chatroulette (below). Here is a piece from
the UK Independent, a conversation with
Germaine Greer, about that first, most controversial C word, dubbed "the last taboo of the English language."
In the show, though, the word is cancer, and the title looks to have been changed to
The Big C. The most recent news is that
Gabourey Sidibe has been added to the cast. I have tremendous respect for Bill Condon as both writer and director, and for actress Laura Linney, who is also executive producer of this show. I'll be adding it to the tiny repertoire of tv that I tivo.
