Aaron Sorkin is developing another project for HBO...

...and this time it's a miniseries, according to The Hollywood Reporter:

Aaron Sorkin and John Krasinski are developing a miniseries for HBO based on Life at the Marmont, a book by the hotel’s co-owner Raymond R. Sarlot and Fred Basten.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Sorkin (The Social Network) will write the mini and executive produce with Krasinski (The Office). The Chateau Marmont’s current owner, Andre Balazs, and his daughter, Alessandra, will also executive produce.

Krasinski, who has been the project’s champion, is expected to play a role in the mini, which will feature interwoven stories of the hotel’s guests over several generations. Since the 1930s, the apartment complex, which later became a hotel, has been at the center of Hollywood, drawing film and TV actors, literary greats and rock stars.

In addition to the untitled Marmont mini, Sorkin has his cable news project More as This Story Develops, starring Jeff Daniels, Olivia Munn and Sam Waterston, at HBO.

Curious what the 'Moneyball' movie is going to be like?

Aaron Sorkin's project about John Edwards may be evolving...

...as The Wrap points out:

Two decades after Aaron Sorkin's famous lawyer drama "A Few Good Men" scored at the box office, it looks the writer might have to return to the courtroom with his forthcoming John Edwards' drama.

The two-time presidential candidate was indicted by by a grand jury in North Carolina on Friday. He faces charges that he violated campaign finance law during his 2008 presidential campaign and used that money to hide an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter.

Entitled "The Politician," the film is an adaptation of campaign aide Andrew Young's memoir of his time spent at Edwards' side.

It now looks like Sorkin may have found the setting for another "You can't handle the truth" moment. Edwards makes his first appearance in federal court in Winston-Salem, N.C., this afternoon.

The man who drew deep support from within the movie industry faces six counts — four centering on illegal payments, one involving conspiracy and one regarding false statements.

Sorkin attended a 2003 fundraiser for Edwards at the home of Dennis Hopper, according to the Hollywood Reporter. His entertainment industry supporters included Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Jackson Browne.

Emily Mortimer could star in Aaron Sorkin's HBO Pilot!

Deadline has the story:

Emily Mortimer is in negotiations for the female lead in Aaron Sorkin's HBO pilot. Tentatively titled More As This Story Develops, the project centers on cable news anchor Will McCallister (Jeff Daniels), who has his own show, as well as the show's female executive producer, MacKenzie (Mortimer), for whom producing the news is what she does best and everything else is tied for last place. Out of a pool of actresses considered for the role, it came down to Mortimer and Marisa Tomei. After flirting with the project and coming close to committing to it, Tomei ultimately decided not to do television at this time, and HBO quickly started negotiations with Mortimer. In addition to Daniels, Mortimer will also join Olivia Munn and Alison Pill, who are finalizing their deals for the project. Greg Mottola is directing the pilot, which is being executive produced by Sorkin, Scott Rudin and Alan Poul. Mortimer, repped by ICM and Brillstein, will next be seen in Martin Scorsese’s 3D film Hugo Cabret. She also co-starred in the hot Sundance entry Our Idiot Brother, which was picked up by The Weinstein Co.
