Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is expanding his media reach a little further, signing on to star in and produce a pilot for HBO.
The show, which Johnson's "Pain and Gain" costar Mark Wahlberg is executive producing, is a half-hour dramedy about retired athletes living in Miami. Wahlberg's producing partner, Stephen Levinson, will write the pilot script, and Peter Berg ("Battleship," "Friday Night Lights") is in line to direct.
As described, the show has a definite "Entourage" vibe, following the lives of a group of retired athletes, presumably some of them wealthy and famous, in Miami. So let's call it "Jocktourage" for now. The pilot will mark Johnson's first starring role in a scripted series (his WWE days notwithstanding).
Levinson and Wahlberg have a long relationship with HBO. In addition to "Entourage," they've executive produced "Boardwalk Empire," "In Treatment" and "How to Make It in America."

With all due respect to Roddy Piper's notable turn in "They Live," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the only pro wrestler turned actor whose extended big screen career has been worth a damn. He's a confoundingly good action star and has shown himself capable of more, which makes HBO's announcement (via Vulture) that it's developing a pilot for the man very interesting. Johnson will executive produce and star in the untitled half-hour dramedy, which will be about current and former athletes living in Miami. His "Pain & Gain" co-star Mark Wahlberg (whose "Boardwalk Empire" is currently at HBO, the past home to his other production efforts "Entourage" and "How to Make It In America") is executive producing the project alongside Steve Levinson, who write the pilot. Peter Berg will direct.

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.

Another Pain & Gain reunion is already in the works. Deadline reports that Dwayne Johnson is set to star in and executive produce a half-hour dramedy pilot for HBO about the lives of athletes, with his Pain & Gain co-star Mark Wahlberg also onboard to executive produce alongside Steve Levinson. The project takes place in Miami and “chronicles the lives of athletes—some retired, some still active.” Johnson will play one of the athletes, but at this time it sounds like Wahlberg is only producing. Levinson—who wrote many episodes of the Wahlberg-produced HBO series Entourage—wrote the pilot, which will be directed by Friday Night Lights helmer Peter Berg. Production is slated to begin this fall. This marks another move for the very busy Johnson, who is next set to shoot his starring role in Brett Ratner’s Hercules. The actor is also in talks to return for Fast & Furious 7 should his schedule allow. »
