Nicolas Cage will undertake the first television series role of his career as Joe Exotic, the subject of Netflix's popular docuseries "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness," in an upcoming scripted show.

The eight-episode limited series is inspired by Joe Schreibvogel, the real-life Oklahoma zookeeper who is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for planning a murder-for-hire plot targeting animal rights activist Carole Baskin and for more than a dozen wildlife violations, including killing five tigers. The untitled project will "explore how he became Joe Exotic, and how he lost himself to a character of his own creation," according to a statement from ViacomCBS.

loving it when true crime and tv/film get's mixed. hopefully things will be shown how they are and not made into something more mellow.
people like him are gruesome and did awful things. no point in making that appear not as such.

[and yes I am an follower of true crime and I get sick everytime I see someone romanticising someone like the columbine shooters which sadly happens way way way too much]
