The feature film The Devil Wears Prada, based on the chick lit novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, is being adapted yet again, this time for television. Robin Schiff, who has written for such shows as Party of Five, Almost Perfect, Grosse Pointe and The Bad Girl's Guide will serve as writer and producer for the TV series, which will use some elements from the film but will also differ from the film and book in several ways. Neither Weisberger not David Frankel, the film's director, will be involved with the TV version. The show is currently in development, and there's no word yet on when it will air. I figure as long as they're adapting the hell out of this concept they might as well continue and develop it into a Broadway musical, a radio play, and finally, a pamphlet they stick under people's windshield wipers. The point is to wring as much cash as possible out of an idea. That's how this business works.
