FX has closed a script development deal with Dr. Dre and writer Sidney Quashie for a one-hour drama pilot that will explore present-day Los Angeles through "the music business and the crime business," the network announced.
The big question: Is there a role for the Tupac hologram?
Quashie is the creator and executive producer and Dre the executive producer. Daniel Schnider is a co-executive producers for Dre's Crucial TV. Brad Bertner is also a co-executive producer.
Dre started Crucial Films in 2007 with a first-look deal at New Line. Quashie wrote the screenplay for the upcoming "The Boston College Fix."
