second episode of the MAXIMUM BURNOUT mix series

Sometimes as a reporter you come across a story that makes your heart dance, as mine did this morning when I discovered that HBO, the channel behind The Wire, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under are developing a series based on Anthony Kiedis's memoir, Scar Tissue.A
terrifyingly frank account of the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman's
life, it begins with Kiedis moving from Michigan to Los Angeles to live
with his father, a drug dealer to the Who and Led Zeppelin during the
1970s. The young Kiedis became his sidekick, hanging out at the
Rainbow, and imbibing kid-size bumps before he even hit his teens. Cher
was his babysitter. The most astonishing thing about the book is that
it gets even more shocking as it goes on. However, the series will be a
Wonder Years-style comedy focusing on his early life. Kiedis
spent years in the grip of addiction (though he doesn't sound like he
regrets much of it) before emerging as a rehab bore (and didn't
sobriety ruin his band?). And there are serious conversations to be had
about responsible parenting and the glamorisation of substance abuse.
But we won't be having those debates here. If the series is packed with
half the rock'n'roll war stories, stranger-than-fiction anecdotes and
crazed characters as the book, then it promises to be the next great US
TV show, hinging on a surprisingly touching story of a father and son.
The get out clause being that you know, eventually, there is a happy
ending. [read more @ Guardian ]

The 1970s era of disco, drugs and excess is coming back with “Studio,” a drama series project for Showtime centering on the iconic New York nightclub Studio 54.

The project, from writer Chad Hodge and “Hairspray” producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, is being produced by MRC.

Bryan Singer is in talks to direct the potential pilot if his schedule permits.

“Studio” centers on flamboyant co-founder Steve Rubell and starts off in the months leading to the club’s April 1977 opening.

But “Studio,” which is in development, will be a fictional series and not a biopic or docudrama. Rubell will be the only real person featured, with the rest of the characters fictional or composites.

“The show is less about the history of Studio 54 than it is about New York in the late ’70s, what people were going through, the political and social issues,” Hodge said. “Studio 54 is the backdrop for exploring that.”

For Hodge, who was born the year the club opened, “Studio” has been a passion project: He’s been fascinated with Studio 54 — or Studio, as it was commonly known — for a long time.

“When I was about 15, my uncle told me the story of the night he took my grandparents there, complete with all the unnecessary and inappropriate details,” he said. “I was hooked (and never again could I look at my grandparents the same way).”

Hodge penned “Studio” on spec and took it to Zadan and Meron, who had given him his first writing job on their ABC series “Veritas.”

Zadan and Meron, who had gone to Studio 54 with friend Liza Minnelli, loved the idea.

“It really was a time that has never been seen again,” Zadan said. “Socially, politically, everything about it was unique.”

Added Meron: “It was the last hurrah before the era of AIDS.”

“Studio” also will tap Zadan and Meron’s strong musical background. “Music is going to be a very big part of the show,” Meron said.

Because of Studio 54′s history of hedonism — it was notorious for rampant sex and drug use — Hodge, Zadan and Meron took the project to Showtime, where they felt they could best tell the gritty story. [read more @ THR.com]
