What would happen if HBO’s Entourage had a baby with The Wire and declared 24/7 the godfather?
A new show called Da Brick, that’s what!
EXCLUSIVE: John Boyega Is The Future
HBO announced that they’ve hired Spike Lee to direct the pilot for a new series, which will be loosely based on the early life of Mike Tyson.
According to The Guardian:
Da Brick will reflect aspects of Tyson’s New Jersey upbringing and early career and is said to be a boxing equivalent to Entourage, whose creator Doug Ellin is also involved in the project. South London newcomer John Boyega, whose only previous role was as Moses in Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block, has been cast as the main character.
