At last, an idea even more tasteless than a 9/11 dramatic TV film:
CBS is rushing a Terri Schiavo TV movie into production so that it can air the biopic during the May ratings sweeps.
There is no word on whether the network has secured the cooperation of either the Schindler family, Terri's parents and siblings, or Michael Schiavo, her estranged husband.
There are reports Michael Schiavo is entertaining offers of book, movie and TV deals for Terri's story. Industry sources say Schiavo is likely to be offered up to $2 million for a book deal and up to $2 million for a movie or TV deal.
CBS' Terri story reportedly will feature "Felicity" star Keri Russell to star as America’s tragic heroine and Dean Cain of "Lois and Clark" as the husband who relentlessly seeks an end to her life.
No word on whether Keri Russell is planning to become bulimic as part of preparation for playing this role.
No word either on whether Justin Guarini is in talks to play Randall Terry.
The suits at CBS ought to be ashamed of themselves.
