#74: Michael Connelly on bringing Bosch to the TV with Amazon Studios




The Spoon show

Summary: Michael Connelly is perhaps the most well known mystery novelist of his generation. Connelly is no stranger to Hollywood, having seen his novels Blood Work and Lincoln Lawyer make it to the big screen. However, his most well known character, Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch, had not yet been realized in this format...until now. I talk to Michael about the process of getting the rights to Bosch back from Paramount, the bidding process, and how the overall experience has been working with Amazon Studios as they ramp up their efforts for original content to compete with the likes of Netflix, HBO and others.
