The Corrections is dead. Long live The Corrections.
The HBO adaptation of Jonathan Franzen’s magnum opus has been rejected by network execs, apparently amid concerns that its non-linear narrative wouldn’t translate to television. That seems like something they should have considered before they hired Noah Baumbach as showrunner and assembled a ridiculously amazing cast that included Dianne Wiest, Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor, Greta Gerwig and Rhys Ifans, and thus made this possibly the thing I’ve been most excited about EVER (beating out even my 9th birthday party), but hey, television isn’t a science I guess.
I’m sure the pilot will leak online at some point, and we can at least get a taste of what could have been. But with HBO’s development process likely making it impossible for Baumbach and producer Scott Rudin to ship the series off to Showtime or AMC or any other potential suitors, it looks like Franzen’s novels are destined to stay in print form for now.
As a substitute, just stare constantly at these photos of Dianne Wiest,Chris CooperandEwan McGregor looking sad. That’s pretty much what the show would’ve been anyway.

American Beauty (1999)
dir. Sam Mendes
“But it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.”
