CBS planning Terri Schiavo movie for May sweeps

The tragic story of the death of Terri Schiavo will be the subject of a hastily put-together made-for-tv movie on CBS during next month's May sweeps.

Keri Russell will star as Terri, while Dean Cain will play her husband Michael.

No word on the title, or exactly what date CBS will carry the movie yet.

I was expecting Lifetime to yank one together first. Go figure.

UPDATE 4/4, 9:30A - It looks like I (and by extension WorldNet Daily) have been had. Apparently the Defamer ran an April Fools' story that WND picked up on 4/2. I grabbed it, figuring that since it ran on the 2nd, that it wasn't an April Fool story, plus I considered WND to be a news source that would have researched their stuff.

Shame on me.

Thanks to Wizbang for the heads up.

4 CBS? If James Brolin is starring Bob Schindler this'll end up on Showtime. Heh.

5 I have read elsewhere that it was indeed an April Fool's joke! WND picked it up unquestioningly and reported it as news. IIRC it was Wizbang that had the info.

6 Heh. Part of the funny is that Dean Cain played Scott Peterson in the movie about that case. Coming from CBS? No way.

8 Good thing you didn't post this at the Dead Pool, unlike someone who is very very close to me...

9 Hoaxes are why I think blogs won't be as big as people are saying.
