It's not the same as the movie that had Al Pacino chewing the scenery as legendary producer Phil Spector. In this case, the now late music mogul essentially portrays himself in what looks like a very intriguing four part documentary on the infamous man's career, his weird behaviour and the murder that landed him in prison, where he died. 

"The series will look at what happened on the fateful night of February 3, 2003 when actress Lana Clarkson was shot dead in his mansion. The victim was a charismatic and once prolific film actress whom Spector had met just that night. Through the lens of this notorious crime and the infamous trial which followed, the explores the stories of both Clarkson and the man who was convicted of her murder."

I wish they would concentrate more on his musical accomplishments and not just the sensational murder, but I suppose it would be naive to expect anything else. Sad as it was, that's one of the most compelling parts of his story and the one that ended it.

It's airing on pay cabler Showtime in the U.S. beginning November 4th, but I can't help but believe someone - likely Crave - will pick up the rights to it here. Something to keep an eye out for if this tortured man's life holds any interest for you.
