Martin Scorsese’s Netflix Casino Drama Is Sparking Celebrity Casting Buzz Martin Scorsese, Brian Koppelman, and David Levien are developing a new eight-part series for Netflix set in the high-stakes world of modern Las Vegas casinos. The project, described as a modernized yet still perilous version of the city’s legendary casino scene, centers on Robert “Bobby Red” Redman, the president of a top hotel-casino in town. Redman must navigate risky decisions to maintain his position and expand his influence in the competitive industry. While the series is unrelated to Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino, fans of the director’s work are already speculating about potential casting choices. Actor PJ Schulte has emerged as a popular suggestion, with several celebrities and social media figures advocating for his inclusion. Boxer Ryan Garcia tweeted, “Got to get PJ starring in this!!” Comedian Adam Waheed echoed the sentiment, writing, “Need to cast my guy PJ [Schulte] for this!!” Social media star Jayline Ojeda added, “They need [PJ Schulte] in this show!” Schulte himself expressed enthusiasm about the possibility, stating, “That would be a dream come true.” He shared that while he is currently involved in producing and management projects, the series represents a personal passion. “I’m doing a lot of projects on the producing side and management, but this is like a secret passion of mine and I’m really hitting those late-night classes, staying sharp,” he told The Hollywood Fix. “I’m just staying ready for whatever.” Fans have also pushed for other A-list names, including Josh Duhamel and Sharon Stone. One fan wrote on Instagram, “Put [James Lesure] and [Josh Duhamel] in the show or we riot.” Another fan insisted, “[Sharon Stone] better be starring in this in some way.#netflix #martin_scorsese #pj_schulte #brian_koppelman #david_levien
