At some point, possibly, after much, much delay, a film based on the thriller novel by Dan Mallory The Woman in the Window, which he wrote under the pseudonym AJ Finn, would probably come out. But congratulations, in a way, to Dan Mallory with AJ Finn, who has done enough heinous things to also inspire a show based on his life, and the many lies around it. By deadline, Jake Gyllenhaal has been added to star in a TV show based on the New YorkerThe article about Mallory’s many misdemeanors, which included leaps and bounds about the death of his mother and brother and surgery for a brain tumor, and according to some former staff, placing plastic cups full of urine near an enemy’s office ( this Mallory refused). Janicza Bravo, director of Lemon and the upcoming Zola, is on board to write and direct the potentially urine-related series, along with the co-author of the pilot with Brian Savelson. “Our main character is white, masculine and pathological,” she told Deadline. There’s a void in him and he fills it by dipping people. He’s a scammer. The series explores white identity and how we as an audience participate in making room for this behavior. After all, that also means considering how Jake Gyllenhaal plays you on TV factors in the various questions about participation and reward.
