Author, Hunter Stephenson, reviews the script of the Cocaine Cowboys pilot for HBO.
Earlier this month, we reported on the possibility of a new HBO show based on 2006’s engrossing hit documentary, Cocaine Cowboys, from uber players Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. Today, Slashfilm gives you an exclusive review of the script for Cocaine Cowboys‘ pilot episode written by Billy Corben and David Cypkin of Rakontur, the Miami-based production company behind the doc and its sequel (set for release this July). For legal reasons, we’ve omitted specific plot details in the review.
Being familiar with Rakontur’s M.O. and work from my time on Miami Beach, I had previously tagged their HBO show pitch as “the antithesis of Miami Vice.” So, it was no surprise to see the opening credits in the script described as such. Verbatim. But while the show’s oddly subdued credits might fit this “antithesis” (old farts playing shuffleboard, an idyllic underdeveloped Miami Beach circa ‘79) , the pilot is not as leery of Don Johnson’s white blazers and Michael Mann’s kooky multiculti derelicts and crabs as I surmised. Recall that the first season of Miami Vice didn’t drip with Art Deco camp under Mann’s watch: the action exuded unprecedented cinematic flash and all of Miami was game, not just Miami Beach beauty. New York City figured into Vice’s early storyline, as it does here. Everything in Cocaine Cowboys is similarly bigger-than-life but far seedier.

Charles Cosby receives thousands of emails and responds to them all - personally. To be exact, he’s responded to a little over 22,000 emails recently. Below are some general questions that come up often and Charles’ response:
Q: Mr. Cosby what was it like to be in the company of Griselda Blanco?
A: Being in the presence of Griselda was no different than socializing with any other of my friends.
Q: What was your reaction when you saw Griselda for the first time?
A: My reaction? I was nervous. I didn’t quite know what to expect but I internalized the nervous energy.
Q: What were the first words Griselda said to you at the visit?
A: “Thank you for coming to see me” were among her first words.
Q: Did the sudden wealth change your life?
A: My life didn’t change much. Only because Griselda cautioned against high-end spending. She insisted I remain low key!
Q: If there was one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?
A: I’d get an education, go to law school, and become a successful criminal defense attorney.

An article found at Panachereport is definitely worth reading. It is one of the few good articles on a woman that literally pioneered the cocaine trade in the 70’s and 80’s. The article mentions an emerald and gold encrusted Mac-10 birthday gift, lingerie designed and sold by Griselda Blanco with special pockets enabling female mules to pack on 2 kilos of cocaine under their clothes, and some other fascination information about the first female kingpin in the Medellin cartel.

An article on Variety.com is reporting that Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay may be working together again. The project that these two superpowers are rumored to be collaborating on is an HBO drama series of Cocaine Cowboys.
The series will be loosely based on the Cocaine Cowboys documentary directed by Billy Corben. It seems Hollywood can’t get enough with Paramount already developing a feature of one of the profiled drug lords from the documentary.
If you think Cocaine Cowboys started a stir…Cocaine Cowboys 2 will be a shocker.
