Baz Luhrmann's orgiastic future is assured.
If The Great Gatsby proves less than great (and the decision to shift its release from December to May next year has some worried), he can always move to the small screen.
Movie website Deadlines reports that Luhrmann has signed a two-year deal with Sony Pictures to develop ideas for TV.
"I make films very infrequently and yet I have so many ideas and stories to explore. The idea that I can be creative in between films is energising and exiting," he said.
"Television at the moment has such great freedom, giving writers the ability to explore any idea and to have maximum amount of freedom to do that."
Luhrmann, who will be acting as a "creative director, encouraging others" to think outside the box, said he was attracted by the creative freedom that had resulted in such shows as Breaking Bad.
Luhrmann's shift to the small screen follows a similar move by the Coen brothers.
According to Deadline, the film-makers are planning to bring their Oscar-winner Fargo to the small screen.
The show will feature the film's hero, police chief Marge Gunderson, and will be written by Noah Hawley, the creator of The Unusuals and My Generation.
Joel and Ethan Coen will serve as executive producers.
