Dumb Money team are set to take on Murder, She Wrote
According to a recent report from Variety, the Dumb Money team is set to take crime classic Murder, She Wrote to the big screen.
First airing in 1984, Angela Lansbury played the role of teacher-turned-author Jessica Fletcher, an amateur detective who helps to solve the many murders in the fictional town of Cabot Cover.
Murder, She Wrote ran for 12 seasons, eventually ending in 1996. The show was known for its frequent guest stars, special episodes abroad, and ambitious TV crossovers that involved the likes of Columbo. For all of the show’s 12 seasons, Lansbury earned an Emmy nomination, yet was never able to win the top prize.
Murder, She Wrote was initially broadcast on CBS, having been created by Peter S. Fischer, Richard Levinson, and William Link. Lansbury also served as an executive producer.
Blum and Angelo’s representatives have confirmed their role in production, with their involvement in the WGA meaning that work on the screenplay is currently halted. Pascal is still rumored to be attached at this stage. Details surrounding the Murder, She Wrote movie are currently unknown.
