Martin Scorsese’s ‘Untitled Rock N’ Roll’ Open Casting Call in New York City
According to the Rollingstone, Martin Scorse and Mick Jagger are teaming up for a new HBO drama. The new drama series centers around a New York City record executive during the 1970s.
Scorsese will direct the pilot episode for the still-untitled project, and continue to serve as one of the show’s executive producers alongside Jagger and others. Boardwalk Empire creator Terrence Winter will act as showrunner.
The show is set in the 1970s and will focus on the “drug and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out.” Bobby Cannavale will star as Richie Finestra, the president of American Century Records, who must make a presently unspecified life-changing decision.
Olivia Wilde will play Finestra’s wife Devon, a former actress and model, who returns to her old lifestyle as Richie navigates his current crisis. Ray Romano also joins the cast as Zak Yankovich, the Head of Promotions at American Century, who’s been in the record business since it was controlled by the mafia.
Grant Wilfley casting is looking for people to play psychedelic rock fans, punk rock fans, disco club-goers, early hip-hop fans, 1970s NYC pedestrians and Connecticut residents. Filming will start this summer and continue until Fall 2015.
