HBO has officially given life to Da Brick by placing a pilot order for the drama that takes a lot from Mike Tyson’s life. The project is being brought to HBO by Entourage creator Doug Ellin, Tyson, and Spike Lee with John Ridley on board to write the script. The plot will underscore what it means to be a young, black man in a so called ‘post-racial’ society and was originally designed to be Entourage meets The Wire, but that was before Ridley and Lee were brought in.
