The project, which would make Chase’s first series since his groundbreaking HBO mob drama, will be based on the non-fiction book Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKUltra by author John Lisle. Chase has optioned the book and will write the adaptation which falls under the first-look deal his company Riverain Pictures has at HBO.

Project: MKUltra is a dramatic thriller centered on the infamous chemist and spymaster Sidney Gottlieb, often known as The Black Sorcerer, who headed the CIA’s MKUltra Psychedelic program which conducted dangerous and deadly mind control experiments on willing – and unwilling – subjects during the height of the Cold War. Gottlieb is also known as the unwitting godfather of the entire LSD counterculture.

I was waiting for someone to drop a "limited hangout " and it didn't take long, ha. anyway, I'm not expecting any new or interesting disclosures out of this project but I doubt david chase would only or principally care about the LSD angle, whatever the source material does.

I liked Boardwalk Empire, another HBO period drama. Mainly because it has Lansky, Luciano, Rothstein, and others as they build this criminal network that becomes part of the deep state. Gaston Means also shows up as a minor character and that's pretty funny. You see a dramatization of the local government corruption schemes in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and NYC. It touches on the Anglo-Irish war and Cuba about 20 years before the revolution. And it's all character actors like the earlier days of HBO dramas.

I will probably watch this.
