Gran Torino producer Double Nickel Entertainment is forging a limited TV series about the life of Vincent van Gogh’s sister-in-law Jo van Gogh-Bonger.
The indie has picked up the scripted and doc rights to Jo van Gogh-Bonger: The Woman Who Made Vincent Famous and is co-operating with the Vincent van Gogh museum to tell van Gogh-Bonger’s story.
She was married to van Gogh’s brother Theo and, after husband Theo’s agonizing death when she was just 28, was left with no income, a newborn baby and hundreds of van Gogh paintings. The art world at that time scorned van Gogh’s work, but van Gogh-Bonger challenged it with unswerving dedication and revealed her brother-in-law as the towering genius we know today.
“We were so inspired by Jo when we read Hans’ book,” said Double Nickel partners Adam Richman and Jenette Kahn, “We know that audiences will be thrilled by this remarkable feminist story of passion, love, and art.”
The series comes after Double Nickel struck a deal with Dutch publisher Prometheus. Also attached to the project are Michael Taylor as co-executive producer and Russell Shorto as co-producer.
Double Nickel is also producing upcoming Amazon Studios pic The Burial starring Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones. In recent years, the company has expanded its episodic slate in partnership with Sky Studios.

More than food? More than justice?”She said the soup was chosen as the damaging liquid of choice because Brits won’t even be able to heat up food this winter as the country faces a cost of living crisis.

At the very least, the Mouse House avoids the laziest possible mistake with “Hocus Pocus 2.” This sequel to the childhood and camp classic, which arrives nearly three decades after the original bewitched audiences, does not amount to just a slightly updated remake of the first film for a cynical cash grab. But all that really means is opening up director Anne Fletcher and screenwriter Jen D’Angelo to make a different set of mistakes.
