(Jean-Paul Pelissier/Reuters)Rosario Dawson is venturing into digital entertainment, agreeing to produce and star in "The Gemini Division," a live-action/motion-capture animation online sci-fi series.

She will play a New York cop whose investigation of the bizarre murder of her husband leads to the discovery of a global conspiracy involving the creation of simulated live forms that have assimilated with the unsuspecting public.

She partnered on the project with children's TV producer Stan Rogow, game writer Brent Friedman and film executive Jeff Sagansky, whose Electric Farm Entertainment label will produce 100 three-minute episodes of "Gemini." Dawson also is attached to star in and produce potential TV series, feature film and game versions of "Gemini."

Dawson is not a stranger to the sci-fi genre. She created the comic book "Occult Crimes Taskforce" and is developing a feature based on it with the Weinstein Co., to which she is attached to star and produce.

She most recently appeared in Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" portion of the double feature "Grindhouse," can be seen onscreen in "Descent," the first film produced under her production banner, Trybe Films.
