LOS ANGELES (AP) --
A TV miniseries based on the late journalist David Carr's best-selling memoir is in development.
AMC and Sony Pictures Television said Monday that "Better Call Saul" star Bob Odenkirk is set to play Carr.
Carr, who was a media columnist for The New York Times, died last year. His 2008 memoir, "The Night of the Gun," details his path from drug addiction to respected journalist.
The six-part miniseries will be written by Shawn Ryan, whose credits include "The Shield."
The AMC debut date for the project was not announced.

But in the past quarter Apple also was only able to eke out a modest revenue gain across its entire business, although the results came in ahead of the analyst projections that guide investors. The Cupertino, California, company earned $36.3 billion, or $2.40 per share, a 7% increase from the previous year. Revenue edged up from the previous year by 4% to $124.3 billion.
Those numbers included iPhone revenue of $69.1 billion. In China, Apple's total revenue registered $18.5 billion, an 11% decrease from the previous year.
Part of that erosion in China reflected the iPhone's shrinking market share in that country, where homegrown companies have been making more headway. Apple's iPhone year-over-year shipments in China declined nearly 10% in the most recent quarter, while native companies Huawei and Xiaomi posted year-over-year increases of more than... Read More
