Klawans had tried (and succeeded) with this formula before, coordinating articles with journalists to “plant” them in in publications that might pique Hollywood interest. This led, most notably, to the production of the Ben Affleck-directed Argo, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2013. Several other journalism projects that Klawans has had a hand in are now in various stages of production, such as The Atlantic’s “ A Catfishing With A Happy Ending ” and BBC News’ “ The Uncatchable .”
