It's the age of major productions on television, not only on the more traditional channels such as networks or even subscription TV but also in the streaming sites turned into production companies like Netflix and Amazon, and the latter is trying to catch up with its major rival once more by releasing a Zelda Fitzgerald Christina Ricci project.
The upcoming period piece will deal with the life of the iconic novelist and wife of "The Great Gatsby" author F. Scott Fitzgerald, and this Zelda Fitzgerald Christina Ricci project won't only see the "Sleepy Hollow" star playing the roaring 20s diva but also executive producing the series.
According to TV Line, for now the Zelda Fitzgerald Christina Ricci project will only shoot a pilot for Amazon Studios, and they'll be going from there, not long after the "Pan Am" star played another iconic woman, Lizzie Borden, in a Lifetime mini-series.
Decider reports that the Zelda Fitzgerald Christina Ricci drama's current working title is Z, and it will focused on the woman who was dubbed "the first American Flapper" by her husband.
A few years back, Canadian actress Alison Pill took on the role of the Southern artist, having played the famous blonde in Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" in 2011, long before there were even rumors of the Zelda Fitzgerald Christina Ricci project.
According to Bustle, the upcoming series will be an hour-long project, as it tells the story of the feminist icon (a great writer in her own right, having penned great novels such as "Tender is the Night," although often being overshadowed by her husband) throughout her tumultuous life, between her relationship with Fitzgerald all the way to her later years of mental distress, as she died at 47 during a fire at the psychiatric hospital she had been for years.
There are still no other casting announcements from the Zelda Fitzgerald Christina Ricci project.
