Alex Hedlund, executive producer on the Chucky TV show, reveals which true crime story he considers his white whale.
The Big Picture Chucky’s executive producer, Alex Hedlund, isn’t super crazy about the word “true crime,” though he’s worked on projects like Peacock’s A Friend of the Family and Hulu’s Candy which are based on true stories. During an interview with Collider’s Britta DeVore, Hedlund says that he and his partner, Nick Antosca, prefer the term “domestic drama,” but understand that studios won’t necessarily be filled with the same pizazz.
When asked what his dream story to adapt for television would be, Hedlund was more than ready to give his response.
Hedlund adds that, just as he and his team did with Jan Broberg in A Friend of the Family, he would want to make sure that Fisher would also be “on board as a partner” should his “white whale” move forward. “I think that’s kind of the one story that hasn’t been told correctly, and I think 30 years removed now, I do think that, you know, clearly she was guilty.
The Amy Fisher Story Captured the '90s The abridged version of Fisher’s story is that when she was only 17 years old, she was groomed and engaged in a heated affair with a 36-year-old auto shop owner named Joey Buttafuoco. Hatching a plan to get his wife out of the way, Fisher shot and wounded Buttafuoco’s spouse, Mary Jo Buttafuoco. The biggest newspaper-selling story of the early ‘90s, the following trial, jail time, and details of the affair captivated America.
