Jailhouse Rock

Film director Robert Rodriguez and his gal pal "Grindhouse: Planet Terror" star Rose McGowan are shopping around a violent women's prison drama to the TV networks.

The folks over at AICN first broke the news on Monday...

Today, The Hollywood Reporter confirms the story.

Simply called "Women in Chains!-Josh Miller and Marc Fortin wrote the premise.

McGowan is going to play one of five chained women at the center of the show. Rodriguez is expected to direct.

I'm all for the idea of a story centered on chicks in jail but wouldn't it make a better flick than TV series.
