Spike TV has ordered a two-hour pilot for a mob drama from UFC president Dana White.
White thought of the idea for the currently-untitled project three years ago and hired Chris Bertolini, screenwriter of "The General's Daughter" to pen the script. Emmy award-winning Walter Hill has been tapped to direct.
According to Spike TV's announcement, "the story revolves around the explosive fallout that occurs when a Boston mob boss abruptly vacates his position and various rival factions face off in an epic battle to control the streets."
