As part of Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's recently extended deal with Starz that runs through 2018, he will be developing new content for the network via G-Unit Films & Television, Inc.
Variety reports that the first presentation will be a super-hero themed drama titled “Tomorrow, Today."
The concept revolves around a military veteran who has been wrongly convicted of a crime. While confined he develops into an unstoppable killing machine, after being experimented on by a deranged prison doctor trying to create the perfect man.
Once free, the veteran goes on the run in a world that has turned against him and sets out to use his newfound powers for the greater good.
The show is based on a screenplay written by Jackson, who will serve as executive producer.
“I am looking forward to continuing my relationship with my Starz family, we have had great success together on ‘Power’ and I am excited to get going on all of our upcoming projects together,” Jackson said in a statement. “I knew Starz would be the perfect home for ‘Tomorrow, Today.’ This project is very personal to me…creating it, writing it, finding the best team for it and I will continue to be involved every step of the way.”
Anthony Cipriano (“Bates Motel,” “12 and Holding,” "100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd") and Dan Kay (“I.T.” "Pay the Ghost," "Timber Falls") will also executive produce “Tomorrow, Today.” Kirkland Morris will serve as producer. All three will write for the show, according to Variety.
