Marking his first return to the broadcast net since _The West Wing,_ Aaron Sorkin will adapt his stage play turned feature film _A Few Good Men_ into a live presentation set to air in 2017_._ Sorkin will write the teleplay adaptation, which will be based on the original stage version, and he’ll also executive produce along with Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. _A Few Good Men_ premiered on Broadway in 1989 at the Music Box Theatre to critical acclaim. Three years later, the play was adapted into a feature film that went on to receive an Oscar nomination for best picture. Set in 1986 and taking place in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, _A Few Good Men_ centers on military lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee, who is asked to defend three Marines on trial for murder. “I am thrilled that Aaron Sorkin is coming back to NBC to adapt and produce a live broadcast of his electrifying play ‘A Few Good Men,’ which seems as timely as ever today,” said Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. “Aaron is one of the most acclaimed theater, television and film authors of our time, and I am pleased that the live event business that we pioneered with musicals is now expanding into other genres and attracting artists of his caliber. I look forward to his collaboration with our ‘A-team’ producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, to bring another exciting piece of live drama to a broad audience.” Sorkin added: “I’ve been incredibly impressed watching NBC resurrect live musical theater for television and I’m eager to team up with Craig and Neil to help bring live drama back as well.” “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working on _A Few Good Men Live_ with the incredibly talented Aaron Sorkin. The stage production was one of the most compelling dramas we’ve ever seen,” said Zadan and Meron. “Not only have Bob Greenblatt and NBC taken a chance on live musicals, but they are now exposing a national audience to riveting live dramas. We’re very excited to be a part of these groundbreaking TV events.” _A Few Good Men Live_ will be NBC’s first live drama since the network began reinvigorating live programming in 2013 with _The Sound of Music Live_ starring Carrie Underwood, followed by _Peter Pan Live_ and last year’s _The Wiz Live_. _Hairspray_ is set as NBC’s next live musical and its fourth to date.
