Lopez and Fineman Creating Brethren

Jennifer Lopez and producer Ross Fineman are teaming up for an hourlong Fox TV Studios drama project set up at Fox Broadcasting, reports Variety.

Alfonso Moreno ("The Practice") is writing the tentatively titled "Brethren," based on the true story of an ex-gangbanger who gets his act together and becomes a defense attorney.

Lopez and Simon Fields will executive produce via their Nuyorican Productions, with Fineman executive producing via his first-look deal at FTVS.

Charles Glen and Barbara Cox are also onboard as executive producers. Fox has made a script commitment to the hour.

Central character in "Brethren" faces a potential sentence of life in prison if he's ever convicted of another felony. Because of his past, the DA's office and police believe he's corrupt, while his clients think he can be corrupted. He'll also face the challenge of being a single dad.

"Brethren" is based on the life of Isaac Guillen. He'll be a consultant on the project, while Nuyorican's Matt Robertson is attached as a producer.
