Quentin Tarantino and Sylvester Stallone are creating a gangster series.

Legendary filmmakers are joining forces for a project that will transport audiences to the atmosphere of the 1930s. Quentin Tarantino and Sylvester Stallone are preparing a joint gangster series, according to TMZ. Tarantino will handle the writing and serve as co-director alongside Stallone. The six-episode show promises to immerse viewers in the era of American crime syndicates, boxing, showgirls, and jazz music.

Style and Visual Approach
One of the project’s standout features will be its black-and-white cinematography, utilizing cameras characteristic of the 1930s. This approach aims to authentically recreate the period’s atmosphere and emphasize the stylistic authenticity of the gangster era. Plot details remain under wraps, but it is known that the story will include dynamic scenes of criminal underworld conflicts and the life of urban nightclubs.

Cast and Stallone’s Involvement
Currently, information about the cast remains undisclosed. According to rumors, Sylvester Stallone himself will not appear on screen, limiting his role to directing. This decision is said to stem from his desire to focus on shaping the show’s visual and dramatic style rather than on acting.

Background and Tarantino’s Plans
As early as 2023, Tarantino had mentioned plans to direct an eight-episode series, sparking much speculation among fans. It appears that the current project is the one the director had previously referred to.

Mutual Respect and History of Collaboration
Tarantino has long publicly expressed admiration for Stallone, calling him a “great actor” and highlighting the influence of Rocky (1976) on his early work. For Stallone, this collaboration is also special: despite having twice turned down offers to star in Tarantino’s films in the past, he has now decided to team up with his colleague as a director to create a unique television project.
