Gotham Group Options David Kushner Story for Scripted Price Is Right Drama

A narrative adaptation could refocus attention on the models’ accounts, widening scrutiny of how legacy TV shows treated women.

Overview

  • The Gotham Group secured screen rights to David Kushner’s 2024 Business Insider investigation and is developing a scripted project now in early stages.
  • Producers Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Eric Robinson, and Ross Siegel are attached, with Kushner joining the production team.
  • The team has not chosen a format yet and says the project may become either a feature film or a series.
  • Producers say the story will center on the models’ solidarity and their fight to be heard, marking a shift from E!’s recent Dirty Rotten Scandals documentary approach.
  • Kushner’s reporting highlighted allegations of harassment, racism, and retaliation tied to Bob Barker’s tenure, which Barker’s representatives and former producer Roger Dobkowitz have disputed.
