> Krysten Ritter has teamed with writer-producer Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant, Dead Boy Detectives) and Berlanti Productions for Retreat, a series adaptation of her novel of the same name. Ritter is executive producing with the intention to star in the project, which just hit the marketplace.
> Retreat is an ongoing hourlong darkly comedic thriller featuring Liz Dawson (the role intended for Ritter) — a chameleon-like grifter who is always in control — until she’s cornered into assuming the identity of a wealthy dead woman in Punta Mita, Mexico. Suddenly, Liz finds herself in the middle of a sun-bleached Hitchcockian mystery, desperate to keep up her act. And then people start dying.
I'm imagining Ritter trying to find a book to adapt, not finding anything she likes, and just going "Fine, I'll do it myself."

I'm imagining Ritter hitting the Mexican drug store looking for the SPF 200 sunblock she needs in this environment.

I still laugh about that story she told on a late night talkshow about being a featured extra in an Enrique Iglesias music video, only to be relegated to a background extra after being *too* pale after 2 rounds of body makeup.
