BRUCE R. MILLER Before Taylor Sheridan made a name for himself with"Yellowstone,” Sylvester Stallone was interested in getting him to write the screenplay for “Rambo.”
“He called me up, pitched it to me in like three seconds. I went, ‘I’m in,’” Stallone says. “It was very fast.” While playing a gangster was always a dream , he never gave up. What made Dwight Manfredi, his character in “Tulsa King,” even more interesting was his background. “This is a fella who’s very educated, reads Marcus Aurelius, reads Plato,” he says. “He’s a different animal than you would normally see in a ‘gangster’ film.”
There, he tries to rebuild a relationship with his daughter and form a crew out of folks not used to his New York ways. What separates “Tulsa King” from other gangster productions is its mob. “My gang is made up of cowboys, Indians, women, you know, fellas that run a weed store. In other words, a group of complete misfits,” Stallone says. “That’s what makes it so unusual.”
Now, streaming services have made it attractive to actors who don’t want to commit to 22 episodes a year for six years.
