Macy Is Zadan and Meron's Family Man
Gay
mega-producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are raking it in at the box
office with the smash summer musical Hairspray, but they're
keeping too busy to rest on their laurels.
The duo is teaming with actor William H. Macy for Family Man, a
one-hour drama pilot for TNT .
Macy will star as an upstanding member of the community who, by night,
secretly leads a dysfunctional, bickering gang of criminals.
Macy has had a good run with the cable network thus far - he earned an
Emmy for the made-for-TNT movie Door to Door and was nominated
again for the channel's The Wool Cap.
Steven Schachter, who directed both those films, will direct and
co-write (with Macy) Family Man, which would premiere in 2008, if
picked up.
