Yet another auteur filmmaker is making the jump to television (well, HBO). This time it's the brilliant Alexander Payne (About Schmidt, the lovely final segment of Paris, je t'aime) who will be directing (and exec-producing) for an idiot box series. The show, unfortunately, is something called Hung, and is about, sigh, a well-endowed man muddling through middle age. Well, at least half of that is familiar territory for Payne. [Variety]
