Cbs Focusing On Manson For 'skelter' Redo
The gruesome tale of the Manson Family murders is coming back to the small screen.
CBS has greenlighted "Helter Skelter," a three-hour telefilm based on former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's book about the capture and trial of Charles Manson and three of his "family"
members — women that he had persuaded to do the killings for him.
John Gray, who most recently penned and directed the CBS original movie "Martin & Lewis," wrote the script for "Helter Skelter" and is set to direct.
The film, from the Wolper Organization, will be the second screen adaptation of the book by the man who convicted Manson in the bloody 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders in Los Angeles, following the 1976 CBS movie starring Steve Railsback as Manson.
"That adaptation focused on how Vincent Bugliosi got Manson," said Mark Wolper, who is executive producing the film. "Our movie now is the flip side of that. It focuses on who Manson is, why he did what he did and how he got people to kill for him."
A search is now under way for an actor to play Manson.
Wolper most recently executive produced the upcoming TNT telefilm "Salem's Lot," starring Rob Lowe.
