Katonah Pictures Tackle Roe v. Wade In ‘A Question of Choice’
Coming right off far too many (which is to say, any) archaic and draconian birth control-centered debates in the halls of Washington, D.C., now’s a fitting time to dredge up another similar topic. According to Deadline, Katonah Pictures will chronicle the Roe v. Wade case in A Question of Choice, their developing adaptation of Sarah Weddington‘s non-fiction book.
Weddington found herself at the center of this groundbreaking case in the early ’70s, in which the U.S. Supreme Court extended female medical rights to abortions (several factors notwithstanding); she’s, hence, the center of Question, which shows the 27-year-old “in way over her head, [having] won her first and only court case with repercussions that reverberate just as loudly today as they did back then.” Producers Dan Abrams and Chris Salvaterra deemed it a mixture of The Verdict, Erin Brockovich, and The Paper Chase — one that “will attract top-tier talent.
