HBO ORDERS “UNTITLED ROCK ‘N’ ROLL PROJECT” TO SERIES

Hour-long drama series will shoot in New York.

Logline:
Set in 1970s New York, the series will explore the drug- and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all through the eyes of a record executive trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound.

Credits:
Martin Scorsese – Executive Producer/Pilot Director
Mick Jagger – Executive Producer
Terence Winter – Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer
Rick Yorn – Executive Producer
Victoria Pearman – Executive Producer
Emma Tillinger Koskoff – Executive Producer
George Mastras – Writer/Executive Producer

Cast:
Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, the founder and president of a top-tier record label (American Century Records) with a great ear for discovering talent, who undergoes a crisis of character when confronted with a life-altering decision.

Olivia Wilde as Devon Finestra, Richie’s wife, a former actress/model who lived a Bohemian life in 1960s New York. Richie’s crisis causes strain on their family and propels her to re-immerse in her former lifestyle.

Ray Romano as Zak Yankovich, one of Richie’s partners, the tough and savvy Head of Promotions of American Century with decades of experience dating back to the dark, mob-infested days of the recording business.

Juno Temple as Jamie Vine, an ambitious assistant in the A&R Department of American Century. She uses her keen abilities to manipulate people and blend into the various subcultures of the New York music underground in order to break through the glass ceiling and get ahead at the record label.

Andrew “Dice” Clay as Frank “Buck” Rogers, the cocaine-fueled owner of a chain of radio stations.

Ato Essandoh as Lester Grimes, a former singer and ex-colleague of Richie Finestra.

Max Casella as Julius “Julie” Silver, nurturing yet with an explosive temper, and the Head of A&R of American Century, who struggles to stay hip and relevant in the young man’s game of the rock ‘n’ roll business.

James Jagger as Kip Stevens, lead singer of Nasty Bits, an early punk-rock band.

Jack Quaid as Clark Morelle, a young A&R executive at American Century who struggles for a foothold in the competitive environment of the A&R team.

Birgitte Sorenson as Ingrid, a Danish actress favored by Andy Warhol and close friend of Richie Finestra’s wife, Devon.

P.J. Byrne as Scott Levitt, Head of Legal for American Century Records.

J.C. MacKenzie as Skip Fontaine, Richie’s partner and Head of Sales for American Century Records.

Bo Dietl as Joe Corso, a thuggish “independent promotion man” who may or may not have ties to organized crime.

Armen Garo as Corrado Galasso, a New York mob boss.

Robert Funaro as Tony Del Greco, chief enforcer for a New York mob boss.

Joe Caniano as Leo, Richie’s longtime chauffeur and confidante.

  2. This looks really interesting to me!


    There is not a lot of big name actors associatd with it like some projects, but it is a talented cast to be sure. Plus, New York during that era was such a mecca for new sound in the music industry! CBGB's and the rest of the clubs... Tehe bands like Blondie, The Cramps, The Ramones, The Stooges, Velvet Underground, New York Dolls, Talking Heads and so many more!


    I'm in!

  5. There was nothing better than the music scene in New York in the 70's...well,except California concerts. I hope they include 101.5 radio station at least a take off of it,they had some great dj's on that station that added so much to the music industry..Can't freaking wait!!!

  7. Best news I've heard in ages. Adore pretty much all of the cast (the only ones I don't are the ones I don't recognize so no bad sign there), but I've been a massive fan of Juno Temple for so long, I'm so glad she's goig to be getting a lot more exposure, as this show is shaping up to sound pretty fantastic.
