Shawn Carter, also known as Jay-Z, is to develop
Hit Men, says Production Weekly.
The feature follow the lives of a multi-cultured group of struggling athletes who all work out at Hit Men Boxing Club, an inner-city gym run by Frank Cerrones, a former boxer. Their lives inside the ring and their battles out side the gym, with relationships and every day challenges will be the focus of this series.
The project, which is based on a script by John Eisendrath, is slated to begin shooting in Louisiana in December.
