In line with its mandate to stray from the mainstream in its development, 20th Century Fox TV's boutique division fox 21 has teamed with Cops creator/executive producer John Langley for an improvisational police drama. Tentatively titled Hollywood Vice, the fox 21/Langley Prods. project is set at Fox Broadcasting Co. The show, set in the vice division of the Hollywood Police Precinct, was created by Langley, filmmaker Adam Ripp and Ripp's partner Steve Wolfson. It will have a lot of the look and feel of Gang Tapes, the 2001 indie directed by Ripp and written by Ripp and Wolfson. Because the show will be based on a bare-bones script, written by Ripp and Wolfson, instead of submitting a script to the network, the producers will film a sample presentation for the network to be directed by Ripp. Casting for the project is under way.
