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.
