David Mamet

The writer of ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ says his Broadway producer encouraged him to write a play about the controversial filmmaker, and he did.

In honor of ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’s 25th anniversary, let's celebrate its staggeringly talented cast by pitting them against each other to see who comes out on top, much as the characters they play do for an hour and forty minutes onscreen.

Just days after NBC officially continued its biblical hot streak with a sequel series to History's epic miniseries titled 'A.D.: Beyond the Bible,' FOX has decided to get in on the religious miniseries fervor. The network has officially committed to David Mamet's'7 Deadly Sins' as a miniseries event, but how will the sinful new drama tell its tale?

With the trailer for HBO's 'Phil Spector,' it's easy to fixate on the tabloid nature of the project and Al Pacino's multitude of wigs. Sure, that's what the real Phil Spector looked like in court, but will that overwhelm this true life story about Spector's court time and possible murder of Lana Clarkson? Hopefully writer/director David Mamet has some tricks up his sleeve.

Reboots are not exclusively contained to the movie world, as we can see by recent upgrades of venerable TV shows like 'Hawaii 5-0' and '90210.' Now CBS is looking to remake one of its oldest and most successful Western shows -- with David Mamet in charge.
