\n\tThe New York Post<\/a> has set a path into film, TV, documentary and streaming projects via a first-look creative partnership with Crazy Legs Productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tAtlanta-based Crazy Legs, represented by CAA, will look to adapt stories and archival materials from the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid across scripted and unscripted platforms. The deal, to include stories from the recently launched California Post publication, will see the partners focus on developing media content in the true crime, pop culture and sports genres drawn from the tabloid\u2019s vast archives.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with Crazy Legs Productions to extend the reach of our top-shelf journalism beyond the page,\u201d stated Troy Searer, president of New York Post Entertainment. \u201cThe Post has always delivered stories that capture attention and spark conversation. This partnership creates a perfect opportunity to bring those stories to life for audiences across film and television.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCrazy Legs Productions, with a base in Los Angeles, has unscripted and scripted programming credits like the TLC series\u00a01000-LB Sisters and Tech Bro Murders\u00a0for Investigation Discovery, and HBO\u2019s\u00a0The Great Lillian Hall, starring Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates. The deal with the Post allows the production banner to develop New York and Hollywood-based stories with cinematic and episodic TV potential.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCrazy Legs has built its reputation on producing bold, character-driven storytelling across genres,\u201d company founder and CEO Tom Cappello said in his own statement. \u201cThe\u00a0New York Post\u00a0is one of the most iconic storytelling brands in the country, with an unmatched ability to uncover stories that are provocative, emotional, and inherently cinematic. We\u2019re excited to build a slate of premium projects together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Post deal with Crazy Legs follows similar paths by major newspapers into screen adaptations after The New York Times Presents\u00a0investigative docuseries from the paper landed on FX and Hulu, and The Washington Post and Imagine Entertainment struck a deal to create scripted <\/a>and unscripted film and TV content inspired by the Post\u2018s archives.<\/p>\n
