hmmm, I’m listening

…Spike Lee is teaming with writer John Ridley, Doug Ellin (creator of Entourage) and Mike Tyson to produce a drama series project for HBO titled Da Brick.

To be scripted by Ridley and directed by Spike, the series is described as “a contemporary exploration of what it means to be a young, black man in supposedly post-racial America.”

…Da Brick is reportedly “loosely inspired” by Mike Tyson’s youth, and will be set in present-day Newark, NJ (aka “brick city,” for those in da know; hence, Da Brick)…
