Martin Scorsese returns to television, although not as a director, but as a producer. Because the creators of Billions, Brian Koppelman and David Levien, will soon premiere a series on Netflix produced by Martin Scorsese set in the most terrible and wonderful city in the world: Las Vegas.
Many names of height
Although it still doesn’t have an official name or release date, we know some things. It will be a thriller and will star Oscar Isaac, who will portray Robert ‘Bobby Red’ Redman, the president of the most exclusive casino in all of Las Vegas. This will serve to surround him with enemies who will make his life miserable and will make his life much more difficult than it should be as he has to get his hands dirty to keep himself and his hotel alive.
The first two episodes of the series will be directed by J.C. Chandor, who, although he recently had little success with Kraven the Hunter, worked successfully in the past with Oscar Isaac in A24’s A Most Violent Year. Similarly, both Scorsese and Koppelman and Levien have great experience in stories of gambling and criminality, the former thanks to iconic films like Casino, and the latter due to films like Rounders or Oceans 13.
While we await more details about the production, this seems to be one of the major prestige bets of the year for Netflix, given the names involved. Therefore, it is likely that we will hear more details soon and that, as its release date approaches, we won’t stop hearing its name. Even if we don’t know it now.
