Tarver was the lead guitarist for the 1980s rock band Bullet LaVolta before forming the band Charver in the 1990s. He met Everman in 1989 when their bands toured together.

Tarver, who previously co-wrote the 2001 Paul Walker-starring thriller Joy Ride with JJ Abrams, will executive produce the project. Bryan Haas is producing.

Tarver is repped by WME, Wetdog Entertainment, and Hirsch Wallerstein.’
