Exclusive: Apple scraps Richard Gere drama 'Bastards'
the eight-episode dark drama starring Richard Gere and based on the Israeli drama, will not move forward at the iPhone maker's forthcoming streaming service.
Picked up straight to series late last year, Gere was set to star as one of two elderly Vietnam vets and best friends who find their monotonous lives upended when a woman they both loved 50 years ago is killed by a car. Their lifelong regrets and secrets collide with their resentment of today's self-absorbed millennials and the duo then go on a shooting spree.
Gordon and Leight collaborated on two scripts and, sources say, were met with notes from Apple about the show's tone of vigilante justice. Sources say Gordon did not want to focus on the larger metaphor of friendship between the two Vietnam vets and wanted to focus on the darker elements of the series, with Fox 21 executives backing the veteran producer.
Apple and Gordon/Fox 21 could not come to a middle ground and the tech company opted instead to release the project and pay a sizable financial penalty. Not long after, Gordon departed his longtime home at Fox 21 sibling 20th Century Fox TV for a rich overall deal with indie studio Sony Pictures Television.which has been carved out of Gordon's Sony deal, remains without a home. It's unclear if the dark drama — poised to have been Gere's highest profile TV role — will find a new home.
