--Clubland is live and will run through mid-February. We're talking about doing a Season 2 and I think we'll make Season 1 available as a torrent file so you can download the whole series at once.
-- We are working on a totally revised version of Cocaine Cowboys (new stories, archival footage, news clips, photos and music), which we're calling Cocaine Cowboys: The Remix. Look for it to hit stores during the summer. The dvd will also come with the release of our photo book Cocaine Cowboys: An Explicit History of Miami's Drug Rush, that MTV Books will be publishing this summer as well. MTV Books will also be publishing a graphic novel based on Cocaine Cowboys 2. And yes, we are beginning work on the next Cocaine Cowboys documentary.
--Two tv series are in the works. Billy and I are executive producing the HBO Cocaine Cowboys series with Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. Meredith Stiehm has been hired to write the series. We're also developing a half-hour animated comedy series for Adult Swim called Square Grouper, about two dope smuggling brothers. Pharrell Williams, who's a big Cocaine Cowboys fan, is producing Square Grouper with us.
--We've begun editing The U, our feature documentary about the history of the University of Miami football program for ESPN. We'll be shooting a few more interviews in February and then cutting the rest of the spring and summer. Look for The U to premiere on ESPN in the fall.
--There are a few other projects that we're developing -- none that I can discuss yet -- but stay tuned as we add a few new ones to our 2009/10 slate
