Woody Harrelson and Luke Davies are teaming on The Most Dangerous Man in America, a limited series package based on the book by Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis. Deadline reported that Harrelson will executive produce and star as Timothy Leary, while Davies (Hulu's Catch-22) will adapt and exec produce. Star Thrower Entertainment's Tim White, Trevor White and Allan Mandelbaum will also be executive producers.
The series follows Leary's "daring prison escape and run from the law in 1970.... All this culminated in one of the trippiest journeys through the American counterculture as the psychologist and writer, known for advocating the benefits of psychedelic drugs like LSD under controlled conditions, eluded Nixon's soldiers," Deadline wrote.
