This could be interesting: Variety has announced that HBO ordered a pilot from The Wire creator David Simon. The Deuce will be a period drama about the porn industry in the ’70s and ’80s, with James Franco attached to star and exec produce.
The Deuce set in the Times Square demimonde of the 1970s and 1980s, explores the legalization and subsequent rise of the porn industry in New York, looking into the rough-and-tumble world of midtown Manhattan until the rise of HIV, the violence of the cocaine epidemic and the renewed real estate market all ended the bawdy turbulence. The project is partly inspired by the career of twin brothers who were players in the Times Square world and became fronts for mob control of the volatile and lucrative sex industry.
Franco will play both twins, in addition to co-producing the series.
