Bill Hader and Daniel Zelman are developing an HBO series focusing on Jim Jones and the tragic events at Jonestown. Hader may also star, co-write, and direct. Jim Jones founded the Peoples Temple and led followers to Jonestown, Guyana, where hundreds died after intentionally drinking poisoned Kool-Aid in 1978. Jones and Jonestown have previously been the subject of numerous media portrayals, including a CBS miniseries and a failed HBO project by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. Hader, best known for Barry and his tenure on Saturday Night Live, has earned Emmy recognition, winning best actor in a comedy twice. (Variety)
