(G911 News Wire) - The Mafia and porn. Sounds titillating. Both will take center stage in a new series being developed by David Simon (“The Wire”, “Treme”). It is being billed as a show about 1970’s Time Square before it got taken over by Disney. Back then it was one of the seediest places on Earth. Porn was everywhere. The Mob often controlled it. Simon is teaming up with his writing partner from both aforementioned shows, George Pelecanos. An air time is not yet known.

Simon said of the project and how it will be undertaken: “You really have to land it in such a way where it’s a story about people and it’s a story about markets — about the moment where something became legal and profitable and what happens to people in that environment when markets prevail.” – N.
