| Mick Jagger wanted Vinyl TV series to be a Casino-style movie |
When there's a new rock 'n' roll show set in the Seventies, sex and drugs were always going to be expected.
So when Mick Jagger's new TV series Vinyl debuted on US screens on Sunday, there were plenty of risque moments.
British actress Juno Temple's character Jamie Vine certainly didn't hold back as she stripped off for a love scene with co-star James Jagger.
The show, starring Bobby Cannavale, Olivia Wilde and Ray Romano, debuted on American TV on Sunday, hitting British and Irish screens on Sky Atlantic tonight.
The much hyped Vinyl is the brain child of Rolling Stones legend Mick, director Martin Scorsese and writers Terence Winter and Rich Cohen.
"It was a movie idea," Mick admitted to America's Esquire magazine. "I went to Marty and said that I'd like to do something that covers the actual inside of the record business, using [his film] Casino as shorthand."
The end result has been a 10-part series, based on '70s New York music exec Richie Finestra (Bobby). The theme of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll features heavily, but Mick insists the story isn't based on his own hedonistic lifestyle.
"Andy (Warhol) liked to commodify himself—that was his goal. Everyone wants to commodify themselves now. But none of the artists (on Vinyl) are like me. None of the executives are like me. It's fictional," he stated.
Working with Scorsese was a surreal experience for Bobby, especially as Scorses likes to share career anecdotes while they shot.
"We'd be shooting on Central Park South and looking out the window, and Marty'd go, 'Oh boy, I was just thinking about the time we shot that scene (in Taxi Driver) with Bob (De Niro) where he takes the shot at the guy when he's giving the speech'," the actor recalled.
"Or he would tell me about, like, going with his friends and finding bodies that were just dumped out of cars into that alley from Jersey Street."
The epic first episode, which has a runtime of two hours, was a smash hit with social media users. Twitter went into a frenzy with fans like Green Day star Billie Joe Armstrong praising Bobby for "crushing it" and Chef director Jon Favreau commenting that his TV is "locked and loaded" to record the whole season.
Mick Jagger has revealed he originally wanted new HBO series Vinyl to be a movie.
The show, which stars Bobby Cannavale, Olivia Wilde, Juno Temple, Ray Romano and Jagger's own son James, is the brainchild of the Rolling Stones legend, director Martin Scorsese and writers Terence Winter and Rich Cohen.
Scorsese has previously worked with Winter on Boardwalk Empire and Jagger on 2008's The Rolling Stones documentary Shine A Light and according to Jagger, before Vinyl became a TV show, he had wanted to produce a Casino-based film based on the music business.
During an interview with America's Esquire magazine , Jagger explained: "It was a movie idea. I went to Marty and said that I'd like to do something that covers the actual inside of the record business, using (his film) Casino as shorthand."
The end result was instead a 10-part series, telling the story of 1970s New York-based music executive Richie Finestra (Cannavale), with themes of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll featuring heavily.
However, Jagger was keen to point out that Vinyl isn't based on his own experiences, explaining to the publication: "Andy (Warhol) liked to commodify himself—that was his goal.
