West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin may be a master of dialogue, but he seems to be having some trouble coming up with new ideas. While the acclaimed writer is still working on The Social Network, a film adaptation about the founding of Facebook (really), Sorkin told TV Guide this week that that his next project will be a series set behind the scenes at a television show -- much like two of his previous endeavors, the swiftly cancelled Sports Night and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
"It's going to be what turns out to be the third in the trilogy of TV shows that take place behind the scenes of a TV show, but this will be a different kind of TV show,” Sorkin insisted. “That's all I can let out of the bag right now.”
Sorkin did, however, reveal that he hopes to work with his directing partner Thomas Schlamme again, and that he’ll try to bring some of his favourite actors into the fold.
“If you're a writer, when you find an actor like Josh Malina, Felicity Huffman, Brad Whitford, Matt Perry, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, all these great actors that I've worked with, you just want to stick them in your pocket and work with them forever, so I hope so,” he said.
