News Corp. Noir & Sapphire
This week, the News of the World scandal unfolded like a high-stakes political thriller — Kurt Andersen talks with a television executive about just how closely reality resembles fiction. The novelist Sapphire’s new book picks up where Push (which became the movie Precious) left off: The Kid tells the story of Precious’s son. And the new film The Clock is a mash-up of more than a thousand movie clips all about time. It’s 24 hours long, and we wouldn’t cut a minute.
