Martin Scorsese is heading back to Vegas. The director of Goodfellas and Casino will serve as executive producer for a new Netflix series set in Las Vegas from Billions creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
The series is currently untitled (probably because the title Casino was already taken), but here’s the official description: “The hourlong drama is set in the high-stakes, sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernized but still dangerous version of the legendary city. At the center of which stands Robert ‘Bobby Red’ Redman, president of the hottest hotel casino in town, who has to make some long odds moves to try and secure his position and take more ground.”
Other details, including cast and release date, are unavailable at this time. However, given the pedigree of the project and the potential budget here, the casting of “Bobby Red” should be a pretty exciting prospect. For more, here’s why Scorsese no longer goes to see movies in the theater.
