Stallone & Tarantino Team Up for Period Series

Acclaimed filmmaker Sylvester Stallone, 79, is reportedly set to collaborate with director Quentin Tarantino on a new project. Sources indicate this collaboration will result in a limited series, reportedly a six-episode period piece set in the 1930s. This venture marks a significant directorial association for Stallone since his Oscar-nominated turn in Creed in 2015.

The upcoming series is anticipated to embrace an authentic vintage aesthetic, with plans for it to be shot in black and white. Filmmakers allegedly intend to utilize cameras dating back to the 1930s to achieve a distinct, less crisp film texture, aligning with Tarantino's known preference for shooting on film.

Details suggest the series will delve into themes of organized crime and feature showgirls, complemented by music from the era. Boxing is also expected to be a component of the storyline, fitting for Stallone's background. While Stallone is reportedly focusing on behind-the-camera roles, his specific contributions, as well as Tarantino's exact capacity, remain undisclosed. Tarantino's involvement aligns with his recent work on period films such as Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight. His expertise in crime narratives, exemplified by Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, makes this alleged collaboration a potentially fitting endeavor for his screenwriting and directorial talents.
