The first teaser for HBO’s new series “Vinyl” from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter has made its way out via Instagram. The show has been years in development and is now set to hit the screen in 2016. Not that you’ll see any of them in this first Vinyl teaser, which is all about boiling the scene down to iconic images, like instruments, lips, money, and drugs. Cannavale stars as Richie Finestra, a handsome and charismatic New Yorker who heads A&R at American Century Music and undergoes a crisis of character when confronted with a life-altering decision.
According to a press release, the show will deal with the “drug and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out”.
Also in the cast are Ray Romano as Cannavale’s friend and partner; Olivia Wilde as his wife; Andrew “Dice” Clay as the owner of a radio franchise; and P.J. However, another band will, even if it has nothing to do with the Stones.
Intriguingly, Variety reports that Lombardo also confirmed that one of the series regulars, James Jagger, will play the lead singer of a punk band, The Nasty Bits. “Very different period. Very different trajectory”.
