Tarantino and Stallone Join Forces: Co-Directing a 1930s Gangster Series
A recent report from TMZ reveals that Quentin Tarantino and Sylvester Stallone are teaming up to co-direct a 1930s gangster series. The project is envisioned as a six-episode limited series that will feature a variety of gangster elements such as shootouts, boxing, showgirls, and brass bands. Tarantino has a longstanding interest in the 1930s gangster genre and has previously considered directing a "Star Trek" film inspired by a classic series episode set in a 1920s gangster culture.
What makes this collaboration surprising is that Stallone has never worked with Tarantino before, despite being rumored for previous projects like "Jackie Brown" and "Death Proof". Tarantino has expressed his admiration for Stallone's directorial work, and this series marks Stallone's return to directing since 2010's "The Expendables" and his first foray into television directing. The series is said to be shot in black and white using 1930s cameras, adding to the authenticity of the period setting.
While plot details are currently under wraps, the potential series has generated excitement among fans of both Tarantino and Stallone. With no confirmed producer, distributor, or release dates announced yet, the project remains a highly anticipated collaboration between two iconic figures in the entertainment industry. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new venture from Tarantino and Stallone.
