If you’re interested in the publishing industry and/or behind the scenes drama — and who isn’t? — you’ll want to keep an eye out for “All That Glitters,” a six-hour series that portrays the complicated relationship between two magazine titans, Anna Wintour and Tina Brown. Variety reports that Bravo has greenlit the project, which hails from Gale Ann Hurd (“The Walking Dead”) and Judith Verno (“Masters of Sex”).
Based on a true story, “All That Glitters” focuses on the “friendship and rivalry” between Vogue’s Anna Wintour and Tina Brown of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. “As both bold and driven women fight their way to the top of a male-dominated industry driven by greed and betrayal, they each find new paths to change the world around them — Tina, through the intersection of high-culture and celebrity, and Anna with an instinct for high fashion and emerging talent,” the source writes.
The project is being produced by Universal Cable Productions and Sony Pictures, and frequent collaborators Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal (“Roots,” “Mona Lisa Smile”) are writing and serving as exec producers. No word on who will be directing yet, but hopefully the roster includes women, especially since “All That Glitters” follows female pop culture icons who, as Variety notes, made their names in male-dominated fields.
Back in January Freeform greenlit “The Bold Type,” a series inspired by the life of former Cosmo Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles. Created by Sarah Watson (“Parenthood”), the show is expected to premiere this year and will feature 12 episodes.
