A controversial TV show about the Ghost Ship warehouse fire has been shelved by CBS (CBS) after outcry:
Chabon responded by tweeting that the Ghost Ship project was to be adapted by journalist Elizabeth Weil based on the story she did for. This information didn’t help the matter, as many affected by the fire were upset with Weil’s coverage, feeling that it painted Max Harris, the “creative director of the warehouse,” in a sympathetic light, and ignored the victims and survivors of the tragedy.
As the disapproval of the series continued to grow across social media, Waldman tweeted about canceling the project: Over the past few days, however, we’ve heard from parents of the victims, from friends and survivors, and from conscientious members of the community, appealing to us to reconsider telling the story of the Ghost Ship— We believe that there is a conversation to be had about the propriety of telling the story of the Ghost Ship, and about the identity and moral responsibility of those who tell it, but … At this time, therefore, we will not be proceeding, and will do our part to leave the families...
Amidst the scramble to craft the most alluring streaming service, networks still have to balance responsibility as artists to tell faithful and true stories that, first and foremost, the communities they touch want to be told. If survivors and loved ones alike felt that the article Weil wrote about Ghost Ship was out of touch, then a TV adaptation would likely inflate the insensitivity of that piece tenfold.
