Back in 1999, Mark Pellington directed a thriller called Arlington Road that, while it didn't set the box office alight, had a tone of suburban paranoia and conspiracy theories that certainly feels relevant to today's world. Which might explain why Pellington and US streaming service Paramount+ are working up a TV series.
The Alienist's Seth Fisher is writing the adaptation, with Pellington directing. The original film, written by Ehren Kruger, starred Jeff Bridges as a widowed University professor who suspects his new neighbours (Tim Robbins and Joan Cusack) are involved in terrorism and becomes obsessed with foiling their plot...
