Director Taika Waititi, who won the best-adapted screenplay Oscar for his Nazi satire Jojo Rabbit, is reportedly to set co-write and direct some of the episodes of Showtime's The Auteur. Jude Law is in talks to star in series as a filmmaker on a downward spiral after making the biggest flop in Hollywood's history.

The story will be adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by James Callahan and Rick Spears, reported Variety. Peter Warren will co-write the show with Waititi. Law and Eric Gitter of Closed on Mondays are also executive producing.
