According to Deadline.com, the Kevin Bacon-produced "Valentine" was bought by HBO, with Bacon potentially starring in the show.

The show "centers on Johnny Valentine, the role that would be played by Bacon. With three ex wives and his glory days behind him, Johnny Valentine is the new voice of talk radio. He’s not on the left, the right, or the middle, he’s on the bottom."
