What’s cookin at rakontur in 09:

–Clubland is live and will run through mid-February.  We’re talking about doing a Season 2 and I think we’ll make Season 1 available as a torrent file so you can download the whole series at once.

– We are working on a totally revised version of Cocaine Cowboys (new stories, archival footage, news clips, photos and music), which we’re calling Cocaine Cowboys: The Remix.  Look for it to hit stores during the summer.  The dvd will also come with the release of our photo book Cocaine Cowboys: An Explicit History of Miami’s Drug Rush, that MTV Books will be publishing this summer as well.  MTV Books will also be publishing a graphic novel based on Cocaine Cowboys 2.  And yes, we are beginning work on the next Cocaine Cowboys documentary.

–Two tv series are in the works.  Billy and I are executive producing the HBO Cocaine Cowboys series with Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer.  Meredith Stiehm has been hired to write the series.  We’re also developing a half-hour animated comedy series for Adult Swim called Square Grouper, about two dope smuggling brothers.  Pharrell Williams, who’s a big Cocaine Cowboys fan, is producing Square Grouper with us.

–We’ve begun editing The U, our feature documentary about the history of the University of Miami football program for ESPN.  We’ll be shooting a few more interviews in February and then cutting the rest of the spring and summer.  Look for The U to premiere on ESPN in the fall.

–There are a few other projects that we’re developing — none that I can discuss yet — but stay tuned as we add a few new ones to our 2009/10 slate
