Jay Firestone’s Prodigy Pictures has entered into TV production joint venture with Seven Arts Entertainment.

The initial production output from the deal are: Johnny Mnemonic, a futuristic television series based on the sci-fi film movie starring Keanu Reeves (and adapted from a William Gibson short story); Romeo Spy, a mini-series based on the true story of John Symonds, a British police officer who was recruited into the KGB; and Storyville, a period series conceived by Sherri Strain that focuses on the legalization of prostitution in New Orleans between 1887 and 1917, a period which also saw the birth of modern jazz.

The pact signifies an expansion into the small-screen side of the industry for U.K.-registered, Los Angeles-headquartered Seven Arts, which formally focused on movies.
