One of the top screenplays on the Black List, a compendium of the best movie scripts being shopped to studios, includes “Linda and Monica,” a drama penned by “Rome Is Burning” writer Flint Wainess. “The absolutely crazy true story of the relationship between Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp, the woman who nearly destroyed the Clinton presidency — and herself in the process” is being pitched by UTA. Lucianne Goldberg — the literary agent who persuaded Tripp to start recording her phone calls with the chatty White House intern — is thrilled the drama might finally be coming to the big screen.

Simpson, served as the main inspiration for Season 1 of the series, with a fictionalized version of the New Yorker contributor himself (portrayed by Chris Conner) popping up in several episodes. And while Seasons 2 and 3 of American Crime Story remain uncast, The Hollywood Reporter claims that Murphy and his producers are already meeting with actresses to portray both Lewinsky—a Vanity Fair contributor—and her colleague, Linda Tripp.
