‘Boondocks’ Creator Signs Deal With Sony
- Share via
Aaron McGruder, creator of the provocative comic strip “Boondocks,” has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment to develop a feature film and television series based on the strip.
“Boondocks,” which appears in The Times, features two young African American boys from the inner city who moved to the suburbs to live with their put-upon grandfather.
There is no network signed on for a series based on the strip. McGruder will begin writing scripts for the feature and the series.
He’d previously tried to launch a “Boondocks” vehicle for MTV that never got off the ground.
