Two of Taylor Sheridan’s favourite stars are teaming up! Poised to produce a brand new crime drama named Blood Aces, Yellowstone’s Cole

Hauser and Tulsa King’s Sylvester Stallone are set to collaborate with MGM Television on the “explosive” and “gritty” project. Based on

Doug J. Swanson’s historical biography – Blood Aces: The Wild Ride of Benny Binion, The Texas Gangster Who Created Vegas Poker – Cole is expected to lead the series as cowboy and casino owner, Benny Binion.

 

 

“This is a story that will captivate audiences, and it’s a role made for Cole Hauser to play. I am proud and excited to partner with Cole to bring this story to life.”

Echoing this sentiment, Cole raved: “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.”

“With Sylvester Stallone and Cole Hauser at the helm, this project brings together bold, cinematic storytelling and a deeply compelling central performance to explore the origins of modern poker and the high-stakes world that shaped it. We’re thrilled to partner with such an exceptional creative team to deliver a prestige drama that is as gripping and unpredictable as the man at its center.”
