John Krasinski, Aaron Sorkin Making Miniseries About Chateau Marmont

Actor and Writer Will Produce the Mini for HBO

John Belushi died there. The members of Led Zeppelin famously road their motorcycles through the lobby. Sofia Coppola set (and filmed) her movie Somewhere there. And celebs ranging from Howard Hughes to Lindsay Lohan have resided there.

And now, famed Hollywood hotel the Chateau Marmont is going to be the star of its own movie.

EW.com reports that The Office star John Krasinski is teaming with Oscar-winning The Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to produce an HBO miniseries that will unfold the long history of the Chateau Marmont, which opened in 1929.

Built initially as an apartment complex by a Los Angeles attorney, the building was turned into a hotel in 1931. Hotelier Andre Balazs -- who's dated a couple of Hollywood stars himself, namely Uma Thurman and Chelsea Handler -- has owned Chateau Marmont since 1990.

The HBO miniseries, which has no premiere date yet, will be based on the dishy book Life at the Marmont, a now out-of-print tome penned by Fred E. Basten and former Marmont co-owner Raymond R. Sarlot.

The book reveals details on many of the hotel's famous repeat customers, including Marilyn Monroe, Barbra Streisand (EW.com smartly suggests Glee star Lea Michele should play Babs in the movie), Keanu Reeves (who lived at Chateau Marmont for a few years), John Wayne, Mick Jagger and Gone With the Wind star Vivien Leigh, who lived at the hotel after the break-up of her marriage to Laurence Olivier.

EW.com makes a few other casting suggestions for what should be a star-studded list of characters for the miniseries -- Mad Men's Christina Hendricks as Marilyn Monroe and Jack Black as John Belushi are great ideas -- and here's hoping adorable actor/writer/director (and one-time Late Night with Conan O'Brien intern) Krasinski takes a role himself in the project he and Sorkin are developing.
