Patti Smith’s “Just Kids” Coming to TV
The legendary Patti Smith is joining forces with Showtime to make a TV series out of her beautiful, cinematic memoir “Just Kids,” which focuses on Smith’s relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. The news has been met with excitement and terror—if done well, the show could be both insightful and magical, but Smith’s writing in the book is so evocative and emotional that some believe a film or TV series isn’t necessary. Smith apparently began writing the screenplay with John Logan back in 2011 and the two will be billed as co-writers and co-producers.
