Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson Developing VICE CITY Series With JOHN WICK Director Chad Stahelski

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is set to produce a new original series titled Vice City with John Wick director Chad Stahelski serving as executive producer and director.

This series is not based on the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City video game, this series is based on an original idea from writers and executive producers Darnell Metayer (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) and Josh Peters (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), along with Lionsgate Television and Paramount Television Studios producing.

Vice City follows “three friends, and former soldiers, who return to their home city of Miami in the mid-80s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal. Disgraced, displaced, and forgotten by the country they served and with no good job prospects, the three friends partner with a mysterious Colombian immigrant, uniting their financial needs and criminal ambitions to form a heist crew. Fueled by the need for American green, they traverse a violent and dangerous path in pursuit of the American Dream.”

That sounds like an interesting project and something that fits the talents and creative styles of everyone involved.
