Director: Alex Gibney Before Jack Abramoff became a highly influential and grossly corrupt Washington D.C. lobbyist for the Preston Gates & Ellis and Greenberg Traurig firms, he was the esteemed Chairman of the College Republican National Committee (1981-1985); and while Chairman, Abramoff is credited for making the College Republicans more activist and more conservative than ever before. It is also worth noting that Grover Norquist served as Abramoff’s executive director and Ralph Reed was hired as an unpaid intern – the infamous Abramoff-Norquist-Reed triumvirate was thus formed. Other highlights on Abramoff’s resume: in 1985, he joined Citizens for America, a pro-Reagan group that helped build support for the Nicaraguan Contras; he also tried his hands at far-right cinema – writing and producing the anti-communist diatribe Red Scorpion (starring Dolph Lundgren) which was released in 1989.

Producer Grant Turck has optioned film rights to the late Shepherd Mead's satirical guidebook "How to Succeed With Women Without Really Trying: The Dastard's Guide to the Birds and Bees."
Screenwriters Dax Shelby and Robert Stevens are in talks to write the adaptation. Producer and literary manager Eva Lontscharitsch also will produce through Turck's Grant Turck Prods.
Published in 1957 by Ballantine Books, "Women" apes the structure and tone of Mead's popular 1952 work "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying: The Dastard's Guide to Fame and Fortune," which was adapted into a hit Broadway show and a film. The "Women" primer satirizes 1950s male-female relations under the guise of a self-help book, with chapters that include "How to Be Irresistible in Short Pants," "How to Select the First Wife" and "How to Handle Women in Business."
"Mead's manual is a catchy and clever satire full of subversive and...
