‘Pulp Fiction’ producer casting ‘Bad’ ballerinas project

“Pulp Fiction” producer Lawrence Bender is in New York casting his latest project: a series for Starz that goes behind the scenes of the ballet world called “Flesh and Bone.”

But don’t expect frou-frou fare: Bender, who began as a dancer, told us the series will be like “ ‘Breaking Bad’ in the ballet world” and explore dance’s dysfunctional underbelly.

He’s collaborating with “Breaking Bad” producer Moira Walley-Beckett, and they’ve already cast former ABT principal dancer Irina Dvorovenko and current soloist Sascha Radetsky.

Bender, whose credits also include “Inglourious Basterds,” is in town for callbacks on the show’s other roles.
