After their separate and mutual successes with 'Entourage' and 'The Departed' respectively, Mark Wahlberg and Martin Scorsese are set to team up once again. This time they will be working on a new drama series for HBO about the development of Atlantic City. The project will be based on the book "Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City" by Nelson Johnson.

According to the book's official description, "Boardwalk" chronicles Atlantic City "from its birth as a quiet seaside health resort, through the notorious backroom politics and power struggles, to the city's rebirth as an entertainment and gambling mecca where anything goes."

Wahlberg and Scorsese will serve as executive producers on the series.
