On account of issues around the existence privileges of Joan Rivers, a restricted series wherein Kathryn Hahn would have played the amazing joke artist isn't pushing ahead.
The task, called "The Comeback Girl," was declared last month in Variety. It had been being developed at Showtime, and was to be created by Warner Bros. TV, Atlas Entertainment and Berlanti Productions. Hahn was appended as its star and leader maker, and Greg Berlanti was going to immediate and chief produce the series, which depended on a spec script by Cosmo Carlson.
However Rivers' life freedoms, which are held by her little girl, Melissa Rivers, hadn't been gotten by makers. The undertaking might have continued as an unapproved adventure, however "The Comeback Girl" wouldn't have had the option to utilize any of Rivers' jokes or expressions, and, obviously, gambled crossing paths with Melissa Rivers and the home.
The restricted series was set during a dubious time in Joan Rivers' life: fundamentally in the outcome of the dropping of her late-night syndicated program on Fox, "The Late Show." That period harmonized with the demise by self destruction of Rivers' better half (and "Late Show" maker) Edgar Rosenberg — Melissa Rivers' dad.
The logline for "The Comeback Girl" was: "Pioneer. Worshiped. Coldblooded. Diva. Joan Rivers had a daily existence like no other. At age 54, she was a genius comedienne… and afterward everything self-destructed. THE COMEBACK GIRL is the dazzling untold story of how Joan Rivers persisted through close to self destruction and expert void to remake herself and her profession to turn into a worldwide symbol."
Concerning whether Melissa Rivers has any designs for true to life tales about her mom, who passed on at age 81 in the wake of carrying on with a phenomenal life, her representative said there's not something to be reported at this point.
After Variety broke the information on Hahn — who isn't Jewish — as Rivers, the subject of non-Jewish entertainers playing Jewish characters was taken up by any semblance of writers on Twitter, Time magazine and Sarah Silverman on her digital broadcast, who called the issue one of "Jewface." Now that this undertaking is dead, those discussions will be postponed until the following period of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
