'Tulsa King' Spinoff 'NOLA King' With Samuel L. Jackson In The Works

Posted by on
  Saaaaaalutations! If you thought Paramount+ nabbing Sylvester Stallone to star in Tulsa King said something about what television had become, hear this out: Tulsa King has a New Orleans-set spinoff in development, aptly titled NOLA King , and it’s set to star Samuel L. Jackson. Exact details of NOLA King are under wraps, but Jackson’s character,   Russell Lee Washington Jr.,   has been described as similar to Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. The series would be set up by a recurring arc in Tulsa King ’s third season, currently in production in Oklahoma and Atlanta, which explains why Variety ’s  telling didn’t call the single appearance they implied as a backdoor pilot. Jackson is expected to film his episodes in July, with production on NOLA King looking at a February start.

Kiefer Sutherland Goes To Trial In 'The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial' Trailer

Posted by on


Showtime has released the trailer for their upcoming original film The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, adapting a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel written by Herman Wouk. It serves as the last film written and directed by famed The Exorcist and The French Connection director William Friedkin, who died on August 7 at the age of 87.

Acquired after premiering at the Venice Film Festival, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime, as well as the Showtime app for those who haven’t jumped yet on Friday, October 6, before a linear premiere on Sunday, October 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Previously adapted very quickly into a Humphrey Bogart-starring 1954 film by Columbia Pictures, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial centers on the trial of Lt. Steve Maryk, a young first Officer played by Jake Lacy. He is accused of leading a mutiny on a U.S Navy minesweeper operating in the Persian Gulf, after believing that its long-serving, disciplinarian captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg played by Kiefer Sutherland, has become mentally unfit. Barney Greenwald, played by Jason Clarke, is the skeptical Navy lawyer who reluctantly agrees to defend him, and as the trial goes on slowly realizes how right his client may be. The film also stars Lance Reddick, Monica Raymund, Lewis Pullman, Jay Duplass and Tom Riley.

Internationally, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial will be released on Paramount+, at least on all tiers for the other countries where the service is live, including Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and South Korea. However no dates are set yet. From Republic Pictures, the film is produced by Annabelle Dunne and Matt Parker. Michael Salven and Mike Upton were the executive producers.
