Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong is producing and acting in what might be the most bizarre web series I’ve ever seen a trailer for, even if it is the only trailer I’ve ever seen for a web series. The show is based on 70’s detective shows and will be called Svengali. Here’s the official description:
The pair released this description: “Svengali is a detective show that includes murder, music,sex,intrigue and a drunk detective ( John Roecker) battling it out with the evil professor (Tim Armstrong). The series is an homage to the 1970’s detective shows (I.e. Drinking, smoking, not p.c.) of yesteryear but set in 2010 using the city of Los Angeles as a back drop. Shot guerilla style with no permits or taste this is one web series people will never forget. A series so shocking and sexy it will satisfy your bad taste palette more than “cougar town”could! Special guest star jane wiedlin from the go-go’s also makes an appearance. The show will run though march. For immature audiences only. You have been warned!”
