Quentin Tarantino has picked his next project, and he’s bringing Sly Stallone on to co-direct what sounds like an awesome, 1930s-type series … TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the series is set in the ’30s, and it will be super authentic. It’ll be shot in black and white, using 1930s cameras.
It’s a 6-part series featuring gangsters, showgirls, boxing, and music.
It’s unclear if the cast has been picked, but we’re told Sly will be behind the camera … not in front of it.
Both Quentin and Sly are familiar with 1930s-set period pieces … Quentin famously directed the film “Inglourious Basterds,” an alternate WWII take set partially in 1939. As for Stallone, he starred as real-life mob enforcer Frank Nitti in the film “Capone,” set in the early ’30s gangster era.
There was also Sly’s 1978 directorial debut, “Paradise Alley,” which has elements of a gangster film … but it’s set in 1940s NYC, with a raw and gritty character-driven vibe.
Both Hollywood legends have played with black-and-white footage in their respective work … but this will be a whole different experience working exclusively with old-school cameras throughout the entire series.
