With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation." An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Thirty years after exploring the seamy side of Las Vegas in Casino, Martin Scorsese is doubling down. He's headed back to Sin City as the executive producer on an as-yet unnamed drama miniseries for Netflix. Unlike Casino, the new series will be set in modern times; and while organized crime has a less visible presence in the city, it still has plenty of dark alleys for Scorsese to explore.

According to reports, the series will revolve around Robert “Bobby Red” Redman, who runs the biggest casino in town. He has to make some dangerous bets to stay afloat in the cutthroat modern gambling metropolis. The series will be showrun by Billions creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who have some high-stakes experience of their own: they wrote the scripts for Ocean's Thirteen and Rounders. Netflix has apparently been eager to work with Scorsese on a TV series since his gangster epic The Irishman became one of the streamer's first prestige films. While Scorsese's pitch was originally a period drama, Netflix brought in Koppelman and Levien, who proposed a contemporary take on the material.
