...And roll for Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger's new HBO show
It wasn’t, perhaps, much of a surprise given that it had the backing of Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Boardwalk Empire creator/Wolf Of Wall Street writer Terence Winter, but HBO has ordered their new, still untitled rock ‘n’ roll drama to series, with Juno Temple, Ray Romano, Andrew Dice Clay, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, James Jagger and Jack Quaid all joining the cast.
The new arrivals’ roles haven’t been specified, but the show will focus on Bobby Cannavale playing Richie Finestra, the founder and president of a label called American Century Records in 1970s New York. He’s flying high with a solid ear for finding new talent, but he undergoes a crisis of character when he has to make a life-altering decision.
Olivia Wilde is playing Devon, a former actress and model that once lived a Bohemian life in the 1960s but has since devoted herself to family life. The new crisis sends her spinning back into her old ways.
Scorsese shot the pilot (as he did with Boardwalk) and will then be a producer. Winter will be the man assembling the writers’ room and running the series. There’s no word yet on when the series might be on the air, but it could some time next year.
