    ‘Silicon Valley’ Creators Developing Match.com Origin Series at TBS

    Interesting....

    “Silicon Valley” co-creators John Altschuler and David Krinsky are poised to tackle another tech-related subject.

    The duo’s adaptation of the novel “The Players Ball: A Genius, a Con Man, and the Secret History of the Internet’s Rise” about the origins of the dating website Match.com has received a pilot script order at TBS, Variety has learned exclusively.

    The project has original author David Kushner attached as an executive producer and hails from The Gotham Group, where Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Eric Robinson, Jeremy Bell and DJ Goldberg are all on board as EPs.

    “The Players Ball,” published in April, 2019 by Simon & Schuster, tells the story of the incredible battle between the founder of Match.com and the con man who swindled him out of the website Sex.com, resulting in an all-out war for the control of love and sex on the internet.

      99.9% of this board have no idea the story or players

      It was cool to watch play out on the boards back in the day.
