Yellowstone producers to take on JonBenét Ramsey case
the true crime that's worth your time
Twenty-eight years after the body of JonBenét Ramsey was discovered in her family's basement, we're no closer to learning who killed the six-year-old, or why. We've heard countless theories, seen countless episodes of true crime TV, docuseries, and dramatic adaptations around her death. The one-time child beauty pageant contestant would be 33 years old, were she alive today. Instead, she's a cottage industry, and the latest to mine her death for profits are 101 Studios, the company perhaps best known for the Yellowstone juggernaut of properties.
The news comes via The Hollywood Reporter, which credits writing team Harrison Query and Tommy Wallach with creation of the project. The duo have a CV heavy on thriller and horror genre properties that are at some stage of development, but their IMDB pages are fairly thin on content that's come to fruition. That means we don't have much to compare to if we're trying to evaluate their track record on sensitive depiction of one of this generation's most troubling crimes. It's also a sign that MTV, who with 101 purchased the Query/Wallach pitch, don't see a need for this case to be in especially experienced hands. I don't feel great about that.
