HBO, BermanBraun and Sony Pictures TV have tapped Jenny Bicks of “Sex and the City” to write a pilot script inspired by the New York Times’ Modern Love column, Daily Variety reports. The pilot will follow the column’s male editor as he suffers through a divorce and begins dating, while at work he tries to find writers and choose stories from among thousands of submissions, the trade paper says. Alan Poul of “Six Feet Under” is set to direct the project, called “Modern Love,” the publication says.
