Updated: Apple will not be proceeding with its planned eight-episode drama series Bastards, starring Richard Gere based on the Israeli format Nevelot. The project, from Howard Gordon and Warren Leight, hails from Fox 21 Television Studios, Gordon’s 20th TV-based Teakwood Lane Productions and Keshet Studios.
I hear the decision was made several months ago, and Fox 21 had shopped the project to other networks.
The series, about two Army vets going on a killing spree to avenge the death of a loved one, had been an outlier at Apple from the get-go, considered darker in tone and edgier in subject matter than most of the rest of the streamer’s slate.
For a couple of years now, there had been talk about Apple’s family-oriented global brand and how its original scripted programming foray would fit into it. Disney had been open about only putting family-friendly fare on Disney+.

Richard Gere drama series “Bastards” has been scrapped by Apple, a person with knowledge of the plans confirmed for TheWrap.
Written by Howard Gordon and executive produced by Warren Leight, the planned adaptation of Israeli drama “Nevelot” followed 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 an act of self-defense snowballs into a tragic series of events.
Gere was attached to star in and executive produce the eight-episode series alongside Gordon, Leight, original series creator Dror Sabo, Lee Yardeni, Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman, Rachel Kaplan, Peter Traugott, Yoram Mokady and Mirit Toovi.
Based on the novel from Yoram Kaniuk,...

Right off the bat, the easiest way to describe ‘Eagles’ is as an Israeli ‘Red’ that’s a lot less colorful, a lot more bleak, but about on the same level of humor (whether it be intentional or not). And believe it or not, the two main characters, Efraim (Yossi Polak) and Moshka (Yehoram Gaon) make the aforementioned comic book film’s cast look like spring chickens — so, young. Perhaps if I had had time to read a synopsis of the film before going in, I wouldn’t have been as thrown off by the directional shift that the film experiences as it progresses, but in my ignorance, surprise came.
Efraim and his old buddy, Moshka are a couple of retired military men… super retired. No one has ever been this retired. They are in such a retired state that they are nearing rebirth. These guys are late-70s if they’re a day old.
