The show would trade the flash of Miami Vice for a more realistic series focusing on the deadly world of drug dealers and the Colombian cocaine kingpins who work out of city in Florida. There has been no official deal made between HBO and Warner Bros., but there have been discussion on the project for some time."Cocaine Cowboys" was directed by Billy Corben and made a name for itself at the film festivals a few years ago. The film was distributed domestically by Magnolia Pictures and its sequel, "Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin' With the Godmother," was picked up in February by Magnolia's genre arm, Magnet.
