Sylvester
Stallone is reportedly finalizing a deal to star inAntoine Fuqua's TV
adaptation of Mario Puzo's 'Omerta',which will be the
three-time Oscar nominee's first scripted TV series.
The
TV adaptation of Mario Puzo's 'Omerta', which is the final book in the
author's mafia trilogy that started with 'The Godfather'and 'The Last Don', is
also yet to find an attached network.
Hollywood Reporter reveals that
Stallone is expected to play the mafia head at the center of the story.
Sources have reportedly revealed
that the pilot could film as early as summer, this year, suggesting that the
project will soon be shopped to cable and streaming services.
The reports also reveal that
Stallone is currently attached as an executive producer to NBC's unscripted
fitness competition Strong, which debuted to poor numbers earlier this
month.
The book on which it's based was
published posthumously in 2000, a year after the two-time Oscar-winning
author's death.
The WME-repped star's profile has
been higher in film, with his lengthy résumé which includes blockbusters such
as the Rocky and Expendables franchises.
