While I am looking forward to seeing the new HBO series 'Luck' I really can't wait to see the new STARZ show Magic City!



Press Release - As Frank Sinatra rings in a new year in the grand ballroom of Miami Beach’s most luxurious dream palace the Miramar Hotel, its visionary leader, Ike Evans, must deal with the Mob, his complicated family and a city in the midst of dramatic change as Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba, just 200 miles offshore. By day the hotel at the center of Magic City is all diving clown acts and cha-cha lessons by the pool, but at night Miami Beach reveals a darker truth. Dopers, dealers, strippers, gangsters and those who arrest them drift together to hear the top nightclub acts perform. Just beneath the surface, racial tensions stir. Ike must deal with all of this, even while global intrigue is brewing right under his roof.

USA TODAY - The latest series to channel nostalgia for a bygone era, City centers on the family of Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who runs a fictional hotel not unlike the Fontainebleau where TV execs attended a screening and theme party Sunday night at a programming convention.
The series opens on New Year's Eve 1959, as Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was rising to power, the Miami strip was at its peak and outside influences were growing. An unseen Frank Sinatra is performing for the well-dressed crowd amid labor strife that threatens the hotel. And Evans has turned to a mobster (Danny Huston) for financing, who pressures him to add gambling and prostitution to the mix.

Scheduled to start April 6th on Starz.

This looks tremendous DC...hope this hits UK screens shortly!
