HBO has optioned Tom Wolfe's novel "I am Charlotte Simmons" as an hourlong series. Tina Brown and Bill Haber are set to produce, reports
Variety. It's the first such project for the former
Vanity Fair editor, part of the development deal she signed with HBO. The producers are looking for a writer to pen the series about a poor freshman who learns about sex and class at a
fictional Ivy League college.
