Exclusive: In a competitive situation, Jessica Rhoades’ Pacesetter and Alexander Tsekalo’s Sreda Global have secured the rights to David Hill’s praised 2020 book The Vapors for television, with The Loudest Voice executive producer/showrunner Alex Metcalf attached to pen the series adaptation.
A lifelong personal passion of Metcalf’s, The Vapors tells the unknown story of Hot Springs, Arkansas – America’s forgotten capital of vice. Home to healing waters, dozens of churches, and America’s original national park as well as illegal gambling, countless backrooms and brothels, and some of the country’s most bald-faced criminals.
