"The Sopranos" star James Gandolfini and HBO may be getting together again -- this time for a comedy series.
Gandolfini and his company, Attaboy Films, are developing an American version of "Taxi 0-22," a French-Canadian series about an opinionated Montreal cab driver. He's also considering starring in the show, which would be set in New York, according to several reports.
Dave Flebotte, a veteran comedy writer who's worked on "Desperate Housewives," "Will & Grace" and "The Bernie Mac Show," is writing a pilot script for HBO. He'll also executive produce with Gandolfini, Dennis Erdman, Nancy Sanders, Mark Armstrong, Clark Peterson and the Canadian show's creators, Patrick Huard (who also stars) and Francois Flamand.
Flebotte, incidentally, also co-wrote the 2002 "Sopranos" episode "Calling All Cars."
If the project goes forward, it would be Gandolfini's first TV role since "The Sopranos" ended in 2007. He's also developing a movie with HBO about Ernest Hemingway.

Actor James Gandolfini (The Sopranos) will executive produce and possibly star in an HBO Us adaptation of the French Canadian comedy series Taxi 0-22, following a 'politically incorrect' cab driver in New York City. Taxi 0-22 currently airs over Quebec's Tva network, starring Patrick Huard as 'Rogatien Dubois Jr.' Huard will also executive produce the HBO adaptation, with writer Dave Flebotte (Desperate Housewives) scripting the first episode. The first season of Taxi 0-22, debuting in 2007, is predominantly set inside Dubois' dark blue taxi, a Ford Crown Victoria, with the 'Archie Bunker-like' comedy unfolding through opinionated interactions, with guest stars and other passengers who ride in his cab. Season two expanded the show's narrative to focus more on stories and characters outside of the taxi. More than 1,000,000 Canadian francophone viewers currently watch Taxi 0-22 each week.

Producers Dennis Erdman and Clark Peterson have acquired TV format rights to the hit French-Canadian comedy series "Taxi 0-22."
The two will be shopping an American version of the series, which centers on Rogatien Dubois, an outspoken and politically incorrect taxi driver. A modern-day Archie Bunker type, Dubois wrestles with his many prejudices and the fact that his 20-year-old son is gay.
"The comedy and humanity in this universal character should truly resonate with an American audience," Peterson said.
The original series was created by and stars French-Canadian comedy star Patrick Huard. The show airs on leading Quebec broadcaster Tva network and draws more than a million viewers in the market of 6 million French-speaking Canadians, with the Dubois character quickly becoming part of popular culture.
Since forming Erdman/Peterson Prods. last year to pursue TV projects, CAA-repped Erdman and Peterson have set up the half-hour comedy "We Need Girlfriends," based on the Web series,...
