HBO Adapting Novel For Music Industry Film  TV Series - Tuesday November 3, 2009Victoria Stewart scribing the rise and fall of the music industry in the last 3 decadesSource: THR.comHBO are obviosuly feeling brave. The telly gods have signed on for an adaptation of music journalist Steve Knopper's book Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age which will mean taking on the massive challenge of conveying thirty years or so of intense cultural change.
The intriguing project will be scripted by playwright Victoria Stewart and produced by Bob Cooper who is best known for his work on the Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG 1.
The film will see the slump of the disco craze, moving on to the CD hype and then to the problem of Napster and other free file sharing online services for the record industry.
It will be interesting to see what form the film will take and whether it will be a welcome blast from the past tracking back through years of classic tunes, or if it will be a guilt tripping negative display of the effects of downloading in changing a once lucrative industry. We'll wait with an open mind and open ears.
