Peter Berg’s Film 44 To Produce Limited Series ‘Amity And Prosperity’ Based On Pulitzer-Winning Book
Peter Berg and Michael Lombardo’s Film 44 is set to produce a limited series based on Eliza Griswold’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America. Kristina Lauren Anderson, who is adapting Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist for TriStar and a screenplay based on Swan Lake for Universal, has been tapped to write.
The book, published last year, is an exposé on how fracking shattered the rural Pennsylvania town of Amity and how one lifelong resident, Stacey Haney, brought the story into the national spotlight. The paperback edition hits stands tomorrow.

When Bourne's distinctive, testosterone-heavy flock swoops in Tuesday to some 220 theaters across the country, it will be only the second time a full ballet is presented in 3-D, after "Giselle" last year. It also follows by a few months the live (but 2-D) broadcasts of George Balanchine's "Nutcracker" presented nationwide in December by the same company, Ncm Fathom Events.
For Bourne, whose 1996 "Swan Lake" was a hit on Broadway and in London's West End and has toured the world on and off ever since, the prospect of a third dimension was at first daunting, but ultimately very exciting.
