The stakes rise on MGM's Blood Aces, as Sylvester Stallone enters the project
With Sylvester Stallone and Cole Hauser getting attached to the MGM project, Blood Aces is definitely playing a strong hand. Currently, the series is at its formative stage. The streaming details are yet to be announced.
From Balboa Productions in collaboration with D. Matt Geller, this is a strong project. From Hauser's American Outlaw Entertainment, we also have Jai Stefan and Randall Batinkoff joining as executive producers.
As reported by Deadline, this is what Stallone mentioned about the original literary work of Douglas J. Swanson:
‘Douglas J. Swanson’s book captures the incredible life of Benny Binion, a New West icon who was a conduit connecting many worlds, some glamorous, some dangerous, some shady, but all intriguing, while helping to build the foundation for both Las Vegas as we know it and the explosive worldwide popularity of poker.”
With such star power, it is safe to assume that MGM has placed its bets on this project.
Cole Hauser expresses his excitement about joining this project, whilst also highlighting Benny Binion's significant historical significance. He says:
“Benny Binion is one of the great Western American characters and success stories of the 20th century, loaded with ambition, vision, balls, and like all controversial characters, many flaws. His legacy is undeniable. How he built it is an incredible story which we can’t wait to tell. It’s a privilege to play him and an honor to produce this with Sylvester Stallone and MGM to bring this incredible story to life.”
At present, Blood Aces has not confirmed a showrunner or a writer yet. As the MGM project is in its early stages, they are seeking creative collaborators to bring this series to life. Apart from Hauser's role, the rest of the cast details are yet to be known.
