Tom Wolfe’s novel, “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” is being turned into an Apple TV series, reports Deadline.
David E. Kelley (“Presumed Innocent”) is writing the episodes, with “The Batman” helmer Matt Reeves aboard to direct and be executive producer.
Here’s how the book is described by Deadline: The tale unfolds as a Wall Street bond trader named Sherman McCoy, the quintessential master of the universe, lives a charmed life until he takes a wrong turn, ends up in the Bronx, and his frightened mistress takes the wheel and runs over a Black man who approached the couple. Cue the mayhem.
The novel was adapted into a film by director Brian DePalma. Despite a cast that included Tom Hands and Bruce Willis, it was a critical and commercial bomb.
