Though his days as the boss of True Detective are behind him, Nic Pizzolatto has other things to focus on. Prime among them is his directorial debut, Easy's Waltz, which has snagged Al Pacino, Vince Vaughn, Michelle Monaghan and Simon Rexto star.
Pizzolatto also wrote the script for the new drama, which Deadline has heard is a mix of Swingers and A Star Is Born, as the film follows a down-on-his-luck comedian-crooner navigating modern Las Vegas with old-school Vegas personalities.
Vaughn (who appeared in Season 2 of Detective) is back working with Monaghan again after they both just worked on Ted Lasso boss Bill Lawrence's new Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey. Pacino last shot Knox Go Away, directed by Michael Keaton, and Rex most recently worked on My Dead Dad and Mack & Rita.
Easy's Waltz doesn't have a release date on the books yet.
