Ellen Page? HBO? Interblogs? Now we’ve got your attention, HBO have just announced two high profile additions to their new blog-world comedy Tilda. Diane Keaton will take on the title role “a powerful female online Hollywood journalist with a no-holds-barred style” while Page will play “a morally conflicted creative assistant caught between following the corporate culture of the studio she works for and following Tilda”.
If that sounds familiar it’s because Tilda takes obvious inspiration from Nikki Finke the “most feared, despised, and uncompromising journalist in Hollywood” and the custodian of insider’s industry blog Deadline Hollywood.
The series is being developed by Cynthia Mort and Bill Condon and filming is set to take place in June. No word on where this puts Page’s other HBO series Stitch N’ Bitch, a single-camera comedy she’s developing with Whip It costar and Arrested Development alumni Alia Shawkat.
