EXCLUSIVE: Brace yourself for the thrilling tale of George Santos, a political prodigy whose meteoric rise was built on a web of captivating lies. Get ready, because HBO Films has just secured the rights to Mark Chiusano’s gripping new book, “The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos,” published on November 28, 2023.
But that’s not all. Santos’ dramatic journey took an unexpected turn when he was recently expelled from Congress amidst allegations of ethics violations. Rumor has it that donor funds were spent on racy subscription website OnlyFans and Botox treatments. Santos vehemently denies these charges and vows to fight back.
This thrilling film, currently in development, promises to be a forensic and darkly comic exploration of the unprecedented congressional race that propelled Santos to power. Produced by Frank Rich, the mastermind behind HBO’s Emmy-winning series “Veep” and “Succession,” this movie will take you on a Gatsby-esque journey through the twisted world of politics.
Written by Mike Makowsky, the genius behind HBO’s “Bad Education,” this film will reveal the story of a seemingly insignificant local race that transformed into a battle for the soul of Long Island. Witness how one man, with nothing to lose, manipulated the system, distorted the truth, and deceived one of the wealthiest districts in the nation to achieve his American Dream.
With Rich and Makowsky at the helm as executive producers, and Chiusano lending his expertise as a consulting producer, this movie is set to be an electrifying cinematic experience.
But let’s not forget Santos’ troubled past. Even before he took office, his resume and background were exposed as fabrications. Now, he faces criminal charges, including wire fraud and identity theft. The Department of Justice has piled on additional counts against him, painting a damning picture. However, Santos maintains his innocence and pleads not guilty.
Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, deception, and the pursuit of power. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping story.
