Literary Death Match Show Oct 9, 2012 7:30 pm

The Literary Death Match reading series will shoot a television pilot on October 9 at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles, creating two shows that the popular reading series can pitch to TV networks. The live show — a double-feature (two, full 40-minute shows) starring top literary, Hollywood and comedy talent — will be filmed by a top cinematographer, then edited into a pair of pitchable TV pilots. The pilot will star Michael C. Hall (Dexter; Six Feet Under), Susan Orlean (The Orchid Thief; Rin Tin Tin), the musician Moby (Play; Destroyed), comedian/author Jenny Slate (SNL; author of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), host Todd Zuniga (LDM creator, and a LA Times “Face to Watch” for 2012), author Ben Loory (author of Stories for the Nighttime and Some for the Day) and many, many more TBA.
