Patty Jenkins Is Directing the Pilot for a TNT Drama With Chris Pine

IndieWire reports that Jenkins will direct the pilot and “potentially additional episodes,” according to TNT:

“One Day She’ll Darken” is inspired by the autobiography of Fauna Hodel, a white woman who was given up by her teenage birth mother and ended up being raised in an African American family. She eventually discovers that she was actually the product of incest and that her real-life father was Dr. George Hodel, the man who is often suspected to be the real-life “Black Dahlia” killer responsible for the murder of Elizabeth Short. (Some have also suggested he might have been the Zodiac Killer.)

An incest tale for our times. Pine is also listed as an executive producer for the series. He plays an ex-marine who “becomes a hack journalist who finds himself disgraced over a story he once wrote about George Hodel.”
