Thank You for Smoking Becomes a USA Series
The series will most likely go by a different title, and will pick up directly where the film version left off. Nick Taylor, having kicked some of his more evil lobbyist habits, will use his skills for good. USA's Jeff Wachtel stated, "He'll live somewhere between the morally ambiguous character of the movie and Robin Hood. The challenge was how to make that character live successfully in our network. Jim Dodson came in and answered the question for us."
The series was originally pitched to NBC, but they passed on it. The pilot is set to go into production at the start of the New Year.
Thank You for Smoking was released March 17th, 2006 and stars Joan Lunden, Eric Haberman, Aaron Eckhart, Mary Jo Smith, Todd Louiso, Jeff Witzke, J.K. Simmons, Marianne Muellerleile. The film is directed by Jason Reitman.
