EXCLUSIVE: We are hearing that Universal, Amazon and Warner Bros have put bids in for a pitch that’s been making rounds from the Radio Silence team with Paul Giamatti attached to star
It’s a biopic about the late paranormal DJ Art Bell. Bell would broadcast his radio show 65 miles west of Las Vegas from his home studio, fielding unscreened telephone calls in a five-hour show on KNYE-FM called “Coast to Coast.” The show’s heyday was in the 1990s when it would pull in around 10 million listeners.
