Johnny Depp's Inspiration for Blow Might Get a TV Show

The cocaine kingpin that Johnny Depp's movie "Blow" was based on, George Jung, might be getting a TV deal. Sure, he is still in prison, but that doesn't matter much, right? Not when you're an ex-cocaine kingpin.

The producers from the National Geographic Channel show "Locked Up Abroad" have reached out to George hoping to get some insight on his "experiences surrounding [Jung's] imprisonment and release."

George Jung is still in LaTuna Prison in Texas for drug smuggling, but he is considering it. (What else does he have to do?) Jung's business partners are going to meet the show's producers as soon as next week.

I don't think it'll be as good as J Depp's version.
