George Santos movie in the works at HBO
(thehill.com)
I've already seen Liar Liar.
I think you mean "Catch Me If You Can."
In "Liar Liar," he was forced to tell the truth. The former is literally about a conman who did jobs that he was wholly unqualified to do.
This just rewards him. Not happy about this.
Can’t wait til they cancel it and claim it as a tax write off. It’ll be perfectly appropriate for the subject and totally inline with their BS practices, as of late.
Sounds incredibly uninteresting.
I hope they didn’t have to pay him for this. Like, I’m interested in watching a good doc about the shitshow that this man’s entire life must be, but not if he profits from it.
No it's to the author of a book who very much calls Santos a liar.
Fuck. Why???

Dear HBO - Bowen Yang. You're welcome!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Deadline reported on Monday that the network has optioned the rights to author Mark Chiusano’s new book on the disgraced politician.
Chiusano’s book, “The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos,” was published last week.
The unnamed film, now under development, will focus on the meteoric rise of Santos, who won his state’s 3rd Congressional District in last November’s midterm elections.
Santos became a national name after damning reports that he invented much of his biography, followed by criminal charges of financial fraud.
The news of the film project comes just days after the House, in a 311-114-2 tally, voted to expel Santos from Congress Friday, officially ending his tumultuous tenure as a congressman.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to 23 criminal counts on allegations that he misled donors, fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits, inflated his campaign finance reports and charged donors’ credit cards without authorization.
The original article contains 267 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 43%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Who best portrays him (can't be George Santos)?
