Big Love creators to adapt immigration-themed novel The Tortilla Curtain

The Hollywood Reporter

Will Scheffer and Mark V. Olsen are working on bringing author T.C. Boyle's 1995 novel to the small screen via MGM Television. The Tortilla Curtain is "told through the lens of a liberal white couple living in an upscale development in Topanga Canyon, Calif., and an undocumented Mexican couple living in the ravine below. Their lives become intertwined when the white man hits the Mexican man with his car and then flees the scene."
