Cartoon Network is in development on a potential series with OutKast's Andre 3000, reports HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. The project will start out as an Adult Swim special, which will go to a series if successful.
Mike Lazzo, svp of Cartoon's "Adult Swim" program block, who at first was reluctant about working with the star, said, "I'm extremely wary of it, but in Andre's case, I think he is a creative genius. He has definite opinions of what he likes visually."
The project will either be inspired by the rapper's life or his alter ego, Johnny Vulture, the guitar-playing wildman featured in the HEY YA! video. The rapper, who previously worked as an illustrator, will create music for the special, which may have styles similar to COOL WORLD and YELLOW SUBMARINE.
