Subject: Michael Bay

• Cocaine Cowboys Being Turned Into an HBO Series

  Cocaine Cowboys, the locally produced doc about the early days of Miami's cocaine trade, is being turned into a television series, and just like the subjects it covers it's not settling for any small time stuff. This thing is going to be A-list. That's what you get when you've got Mega-producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay behind the project for HBO.Bay is no stranger to Miami crime dramas, having directed Bad Boys and its sequel. Let's just hope he takes it easy on the trademark megaexplo

• Rakontur Teams Up With Pharrell For Adult Swim Show

  2009 is looking to be a huge year for the Rakontur Films. Not only will they be teaming up with super-producers Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer to turn their Cocaine Cowboys documentary into an HBO series, but they've also announced on their blog they're developing a half-hour series for Adult Swim called Square Grouper with another type of super-producer, Pharrell Williams. Can you feel it? The total jealousy of every young filmmaker in the entire country? HBO and Adult Swim are truly two of

  Ooo, yeah, take that camera, take it. I'm shooting you so good, baby.No matter how humid the weather, summer has not arrived until Michael Bay says so. Wear all the sunscreen you want, but until that V8 engine of a brain (disguised by sweet-smelling angel's hair) unleashes its latest hailstorm of sweat and bullets, it is still the post-Oscar spring doldrums.Put away thy Spock ears and Vader helmets, my fellow nerd-bots.

• The Heat Is Done. Now Can We All Agree the Team Drafted the Wrong Guy?

  The Heat's season ended yesterday pretty much the same way it played out all year long -- as a one-man D-Wade show. via Wikimedia CommonsOops. Wrong pick.Unfortunately for the Heat, Sunday's game was one of those "Wade can't possibly carry these clowns all by himself" duds, instead of those "Holy crap, Wade is carrying these clowns all by himself!" masterpieces like #3 somehow crafted all year while leading the NBA in scoring.In hindsight, this was a nice bounce-back year for a team that sucked

• Local Screenwriting Workshops Beginning Soon

  WikicommonsI never get tired of this photo.​Michael Bay could really use a new screenwriter, and I think it's up to Miami to give it to him. You could sign up for an L.A. or NYC screenwriting class (L.A. writing lab, Robert McKee, mediabistro, etc.) with an online component, but there's no substitute for face-to-face instruction. That's why you should check out the Miami Film Workshops, run by Harriette Yahr, with support from the Miami Light Project, Cinevisun, Tigertail, the Miami World Cine
