In "Vinyl" tutti i clichè della New York anni '70
""Vinyl", la serie targata HBO in 10 episodi, che porta la firma di Martin
Scorsese, di Mick Jagger e
di Terence Winter («I Soprano» e « Boardwalk Empire»), sembra fatta
apposta per alimentare il mito di una New York tutta sesso, droga e
rock'n'roll (Sky Atlantic, lunedì, ore 21.10 e a rotazione). Siamo nel
1973. Protagonista della serie è Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale), un
produttore discografico a capo della American Century Records che, con
l'ascesa del punk da una parte e dei successi pop dall'altra, cerca di
rilanciare la propria etichetta discografica attraverso i Nasty Bits,
una punk band emergente. Ricostruendo le vicende del protagonista, la
serie descrive l'industria musicale dell'epoca (le grandi casi
discografiche come la PolyGram stanno assorbendo le più piccole),
all'alba di nascenti sottoculture musicali. II fermento di quegli anni
(i riferimenti ai personaggi della scena artistica della Grande Mela,
dai Led Zeppelin ad Andy Warhol, sono costanti) è riproposto in chiave
di plateale anticonformismo, come se la scrittura della serie,
riproponendo molti stilemi manieristici di «Boardwalk Empire», fosse
vocata al maledettismo del rock. Come ha scritto giustamente Stefano
Pistolini su IL, «si può prendere per buona la tesi di Scorsese, ma il
suo cinismo per tanti versi è innervosente, la sua perfidia ha il gusto
rancido della malevolenza di un uomo abile e sofisticato, ma
inguaribilmente vecchio. Dalla sua rappresentazione della NY gonfia di
droghe, sesso, perversioni e banconote, non trasudano sensazioni
elettrizzanti, la sintonia con la modernità, il desiderio di descrivere
un momento terribile e meraviglioso, ma soltanto i suoi squallori». Dal
lungo pilot, «Vinyl» sembra quasi vendetta che Mick Jagger si prende nei
confronti dell'America, quasi a decretare una superiorità della musica
inglese, dopo che già allora aveva messo a repentaglio la buona creanza
sonora con «Satisfaction»". (Aldo Grasso, 18.02.2016)

NEWS - Attenti a quei due! Mick Jagger e Martin Scorsese insieme per una serie tv rock (con Bobby Cannavale)News tratta da Deadline.com
Boardwalk Empire executive producers Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter are recruiting the series’ Season 3 star Bobby Cannavale for their next project at HBO. Emmy winner Cannavale is in negotiations to star in an untitled Rock ‘n’ Roll series, which Scorsese and Winter created with Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger. The project, which has been in the works at HBO since 2010, has not been greenlighted yet but we’ve learned that it is gearing up for an early 2014 shoot with Scorsese directing the pilot that was written by Winter. Scorsese also helmed the pilot for Boardwalk Empire, which too was penned by Winter. Scorsese has already worked it into his busy schedule, so go ahead and dress for this one.
The untitled Rock ‘n’ Roll Project follows the exploits of Richie (Cannavale), a cocaine-fueled record exec in NYC circa 1977, when punk, disco and a new form of music called hip-hop collided. Richie is a talented A&R guy who is elevated to run a big label, even though he thinks he’s better suited to focusing on day-to-day music matters. Scorsese and Jagger, who worked together on the superb Rolling Stones documentary Shine A Light, began this project as a feature after Jagger told Scorsese they ought to make a movie like Casino in the world of the music biz. They set it at Paramount, which is involved in the series. Scorsese, Jagger, Winter, Jagged Films’ Victoria Pearman, Sikelia president Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Rick Yorn are the exec producers. Since Winter continues to run Boardwalk Empire, the producers are looking to staff up writers for the new show.
Scorsese is completing post production on the Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer The Wolf Of Wall Street, which will be released November 15, as he preps the HBO pilot. And then he will direct Silence, his long awaited adaptation of the Shusaku Endo novel that has The Amazing Spider-Man’s Andrew Garfield starring. Scorsese is repped by WME and Yorn; Winter, Jagger and Pearman are repped by CAA; Cannavale, currently starring on Broadway in Clifford Odets’ The Big Knife, is repped by ICM Partners and managed by Frameworks’ Peg Donegan.

PICCOLO GRANDE SCHERMO - Ultima ora, Michael Emerson è "Person of Interest" per Woody Allen! Il regista vuole l'ex interprete di "Lost" nel suo prossimo film (sperando che sia meno boiata di "To Rome with Love"!)
If the Damon Lindelof-written "Prometheus" doesn't fill the empty spot in your heart where "Lost" used to live, here's some good news: according to Deadline.com, Michael Emerson has been cast in Woody Allen's next film. Pause here to send your all-caps tweets, plus any OMG huzzahs to the heavens. Emerson rose to fame on "Lost" as the nefarious Benjamin Linus -- a role that earned him four Emmy nominations during the series' six-season run. (Emerson didn't appear on "Lost" until season two.) He joins a typically awesome Woody Allen cast that already includes Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper and Bobby Cannavale. While the cast is coming together nicely, the location of Allen's next movie has become increasingly hard to pin down. When it was first announced, Deadline.com reported that it would take place in Copenhagen. That was switched to San Francisco whenBaldwin's casting deal was revealed. Now, it's apparently going to shoot in New York, which would mark the first time Allen returned to his home city since "Whatever Works." This isn't the first time Emerson worked with Allen; the actor appeared in Allen's 2001 short film "Sounds From A Town I Love," which debuted at the "Concert For New York City" in the aftermath of 9/11. Watch that short film below. Allen's newest film, "To Rome With Love," is in theaters this month.
