Robert Redford is planning to use his Sundance Channel, which primarily presents independent films, to air live TV dramas based on classic books and short stories, the New York Daily News reported today (Wednesday).
"I did the last Playhouse 90 that was ever done," Redford said, referring to the weekly live dramatic series that aired live from Hollywood in the late 1950s. (The Redford drama, In the Presence of Mine Enemies, aired in 1960.)
Redford told Daily News TV writer David Bianculli that once he finds financial support, he plans to contact actors and directors and offer them the opportunity to do their favorite works of literature. "Why don't we plan to take artists like myself -- I would do it in a flash -- and do short stories, and put them on as originals on the channel?" Redford asked.
