With news of Nas’ upcoming anniversary reissue of his 1994 album Illmatic recently released, Deadline
is now reporting that the rapper is in talks with Microsoft’s Xbox
Entertainment Studios for a planned half-hour television series.
Tentatively titled "Street Dreams," the series is
apparently “loosely based” on Nas’ life and rise to fame as an emcee in
the Queensbridge projects in New York. Slated for a half-hour spot,
"Street Dreams" will be written and directed by Jonathan Levine who is
well known for his 2011 directing of the Seth Rogen and Joseph
Gordon-Levitt starring 50/50. Levine, who grew up in New York City throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, also wrote and directed a movie set in New York called The Wackness which won the 2008 Sundance Audience Award for Dramatic Film. via sohh.com http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.27474/title.xbox-reportedly-developing-television-series-based-on-nas-life
