Mark Wahlberg Developing New Drama Series For HBO Based on the Porn Industry

He's played a rock star in the film Rock Star, and a porn star in the film Boogie Nights now Mark Wahlberg is ready to tackle the latter... again. The New York Post is reporting that Wahlberg is working on developing a new hour-long drama series for HBO based on the porn industry.

The series will use a mix of legit actors and real porn stars.

The plot will focus on a giant video company under siege from Internet competitors and a girl from the Midwest whose boyfriend convinces her to move to Los Angeles to become a star. Reached by Page Six, controversial writer James Frey, who's writing the pilot, said, "We're going to make a sprawling epic about the porn business in LA. We're going to tell the type of stories no one else has told before, and go places no one has gone before." Very private places, we imagine.

Is this just an Entourage based on the porn industry? We will see.
