The pay cable network has ordered a script from the project, about a group of twenty- and thirtysomethings in Los Angeles. It centers on a 29-year-old magazine editor who escapes his hard-partying New York life by following his best friend and a new girlfriend across the country, only to find himself virtually isolated when his friend is killed in a mysterious accident.

The six main characters -- including an art gallery owner, lawyer, event planner and a closeted bartender -- deal with career and relationship issues. They encounter violent situations and anxieties that are briefly manifested as monsters and other apparitions that may or may not be real.

Despite the surreal touches, Ellis says he doesn't want the series to venture into David Lynch territory. "There are no midgets walking backwards," he said, laughing. "We want something much more naturalistic -- a very realistic soap."

I don't want to read Glamorama because I hated Victor so much after reading Rules of Attraction, but I had no idea a movie was being made from it.

Let's hope two things: First that it does in fact rock the socks off of us. Second that it doesn't go the way of so many other amazing Showtime series and vanish from the face of the planet as soon as everyone is on the edge of their seat.
