Apple rumored to back Dr. Dre TV project
Dr. Dre is busy filming a dark, six-episode drama called Vital Signs and his financial patron may be none other than tech giant Apple, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter Friday.
If accurate, this would represent Apple’s first official foray into scripted content. The move echoes the already successful efforts of technology companies such as Amazon and Netflix, whose shows Transparent and Narcos, respectively, have gained significant critical acclaim and shifted the entertainment axis from Hollywood offices to Silicon Valley boardrooms.
Apple has been at the center of speculation with regard to a number of possible business ventures, none of which have been confirmed. Those rumored projects include automobile manufacturing and virtual reality goggle development. In both arenas, Apple would be playing catch-up to efforts such as Google’s six-year-old self-driving car program and Facebook’s Oculus Rift VR headset, which is set to hit consumers this year along with other VR launches.
