After the success of "Beef" Season 2, Oscar Isaac is returning to Netflix with "The Roman", an eight-episode series that ventures into the glitz, glamour and high-intensity world of casinos in Las Vegas. The actor will also serve as executive producer.
What's more exciting are the names involved behind the scenes: Martin Scorsese, who directed the greatest "Casino" film of all time, is among the executive producers, while JC Chandor, who directed Isaac in "A Most Violent Year" and "Triple Frontier", is directing the first two episodes, as per Netflix.
And making things even more colourful is the cast itself: Betty Gilpin (Death by Lightning, GLOW), Alec Baldwin (The Departed, the upcoming Kockroach), and David Costabile (Billions, Breaking Bad), among others.
The Roman hails from creators/showrunners/executive producers Screenwriting duo Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who wrote the cult poker game-based "Rounders" (with Matt Damon and Edward Norton) and Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Thirteen", and created the limited anthology series "Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber", are creators and showrunners.
Each episode is expected to be an hour-long. Netflix's official logline describes the show as a high-stakes drama set in the "sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernised but still dangerous version of the legendary city. At the centre of it all stands Robert “Bobby Red” Redman, president of the hottest hotel casino in town, who has to make some long odds moves to try and secure his position and take more ground."
Interestingly, Isaac and Scorsese are appearing in front of the camera for another Netflix project, a feature-length movie, "In the Hand of Dante", directed by Julian Schnabel.
