Are you ready to see Sylvester Stallone in a new light? The legendary action star is diving deeper into the world of television, not just with his ongoing project ‘Tulsa King’ but with an exciting new series that promises to captivate audiences with the thrilling origins of Las Vegas and poker.
Stallone Teams Up for a Wild Ride
Sylvester Stallone is expanding his horizons in television by working on a new project that delves into the gritty history of Las Vegas. The upcoming series, an adaptation of Doug J. Swanson’s book ‘Blood Aces: The Wild Ride of Benny Binion, the Texas Gangster Who Created Vegas Poker’, is set to feature Cole Hauser, known from ‘Yellowstone’, as Benny Binion. Stallone, filled with enthusiasm about the project, shared that the story of Benny Binion is not just a tale of a single man but a narrative rich with glamour, danger, and murky dealings, all of which played a pivotal role in shaping what Las Vegas is today, as well as the global explosion of poker’s popularity.
A New Role for Hauser, a New Venture for Stallone
While Stallone’s on-screen role in ‘Blood Aces’ remains uncertain, he is confirmed to be one of the producers through his company, Balboa Productions. Similarly, Hauser will also take a producer’s seat via American Outlaw Entertainment. Hauser expressed his excitement and honor in portraying Binion, describing him as a quintessential figure of the American West and a towering example of 20th-century success, fraught with ambition, vision, and flaws.
Production and Future Projects
The production schedule for ‘Blood Aces’ is still under wraps. Hauser’s commitments include reprising his role as Rip Wheeler in ‘The Dutton Ranch’, a ‘Yellowstone’ sequel, and starring in a new sports series by Nic Pizzolatto for Netflix, alongside Matthew McConaughey. The involvement of such high-profile projects indicates that the filming of ‘Blood Aces’ might face some scheduling challenges.
Stallone’s venture into television does not stop with ‘Tulsa King’, as this new series with Hauser shows his continued interest and growing footprint in the industry. With a storyline that promises intrigue and historical depth, ‘Blood Aces’ is set to be a project that will not only entertain but also educate viewers about one of the most iconic figures in American gambling history.
