UPDATE (8/6/2015): The full first teaser with dialogue for Vinyl is out, and it's a doozy: Bobby Cannavale with longer hair, a lot of cocaine, guitar-smashing, and the signature Marty Scorsese freeze-frame-and-voiceover touch.

Not much is known yet about ​Vinyl, ​the new HBO series from the minds of Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and Terence Winter (​Boardwalk Empire​), but that's enough to get people excited about whatever this thing is. Winter created the series, set in the New York City rock music scene of the '70s. Scorsese and Jagger are both executive producers, and Scorsese directed the pilot. Bobby Cannavale will star as a record executive who's attempting to revive his ailing record label, and Olivia Wilde plays his wife.

The first look at the show, which HBO just premiered on Instagram, has no dialogue but plenty of style. We see drugs, we see cash on top of a record (an allusion to payola, or somebody's drug money?), and we see at least the suggestion of sex. Plus some funky, noisy guitars. If anyone knows this world, it's probably Jagger and Scorsese, who has already directed documentaries on the Band (​The Last Waltz​), the Rolling Stones (​Shine a Light), and Bob Dylan (​No Direction Home). ​Vinyl ​will use music from the Stones and other bands of the era.
