HBO announced today that they are developing a pilot starring and executive-produced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The currently untitled project will be a half-hour dramedy about active and retired athletes living in Miami. The pilot will be executive-produced by Mark Wahlberg and his producing partner Steve Levinson (who also wrote the pilot) and directed by Peter Berg. Though Johnson is a proven and successful film actor, you can imagine he’s attracted to the opportunity to play a role that amounts to more than just reciting quips and flexing. (Though there better be a lot of quips and flexing.)
