Starz commissions 50 Cent to develop superhero TV series
Digital satellite TV channel Starz has commissioned 50 Cent to develop an all-new superhero themed TV show chronicling the adventures of a Chicago vigilante with super powers.
In true superhero fashion the series will chart the exploits of a Chicagoan who is falsely imprisoned only to end up becoming a guineas pig for a series of military experiments geared toward creation of a perfect killer.
Upon duly escaping from his prison the man vows to employ his new powers for good as he takes to the streets to wreak vengeance on the city’s criminal fraternity.
Tomorrow, Today follows the success of 50 Cent’s crime drama Power which has just begun its third season on the network.
In a statement the rapper commented: “I am looking forward to continuing my relationship with my Starz family, we have had great success together on ‘Power’ and I am excited to get going on all of our upcoming projects together.
“This project is very personal to me…creating it, writing it, finding the best team for it and I will continue to be involved every step of the way."
