Hit!
(television - one hour)
WGA #1969268

Picture
Socialite and hotelier Clark Tisdale is the son of the former-leading man governor of California and the most powerful studio mogul of the 1950s. Brody Atherton is a new starlet Best Supporting Actress nominee and the daughter of a recently paroled mobster from back east. With their wedding date growing ever closer, her father returns to collect a debt owed by the governor himself. Clark is in with the wrong crowd without a clue. Aided by his A-list half-brother, mob-connected cousin and soon-to-be brother-in-law, he attempts to pay recompense to the erstwhile mob investor ...or figure a way out of it altogether with the help of a narcoleptic hit-man named Vic.

​Hit! is a long-form television series currently for pitch based on a feature-length screenplay written by Jacob Karnas in 2001. The feature focuses satirically on the cult of celebrity commonly found in the entertainment industry and slowly slides into a caper-style, almost slapstick, farcical take on film's political history. The story itself showcases the similarities between the three presented groups: the Hollywood elite, political figures of the day (both historical and fictional), and members of organised crime syndicates - all taking place during the 'Red Scare' of the House Un-American Committee hearings. Originally fixed in a contemporary setting, after much consideration the story was moved to 1953. Many elements in the plot directly reference the atmosphere present in Washington, Hollywood and the film industry today with a lens on the past.
