'STILL STAR CROSSED'
GETS PILOT ORDER BY ABC
Meanwhile, a project I've announced last year has been officially ordered for a pilot by ABC! Shondaland and ABC will try to turn
Melinda Taub's bestselling book STILL STAR CROSSED into potential TV series. As a sort of a Romeo and Juliet sequel and set in 16th century Verona, it picks up where Shakespeare’s story left off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate. In the book, to end the family feud, Prince Escalus orders the most eligible Montague bachelor, Benvolio, Romeo’s best friend, to marry Juliet’s older cousin, Capulet maid Rosaline, the girl Romeo first loved.
