HBO is moving forward with Steve McQueen‘s drama pilot Codes Of Conduct, giving the project a six-episode limited series order. The 12 Years A Slave helmer will direct all six episodes of Codes Of Conduct, on which he had teamed with World War Z co-writer Matthew Michael Carnahan; hip-hop mogul/producer Russell Simmons, who has a deal at HBO; Oscar-winning producers Iain Canning and Emile Sherman (The King’s Speech); and HBO veteran Alan Poul (The Newsroom, Six Feet Under). All six will executive produce.
Described as an exploration of a young African-American man’s experience entering New York high society, with a past that might not be what it seems.

Ooo nice.
ReplyDeleteProbably has everything to do with Empire being a huge hit (which I don't mind at all, it's freakin' awesome)... Sounds intriguing. High society, mysterious past... Yep. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a 6 hour movie (in the vain of a True Detective type thing). Very HBO-ish... could be good...
ReplyDeleteSomewhat true, to be fair though, this project was in the works way before Empire got going.
