- Talking at the current year’s Cannes Film Festival – where Parasite brought home the Palme d’Or in 2019 – Bong Joon-ho has shared his shock at the film’s global achievement, just as new subtleties on the upcoming side project TV series.
The chief says that he trusts the show ‘will be something of extraordinary virtuoso’s.
ICYMI, the chief, has been fostering a TV adaptation of the Oscar-winning film (which bested Dazed’s rundown of top choices in 2019) for quite a while, as a team with Succession’s Adam McKay. The English-language transformation was first reported in January last year, with the producer affirming that it’ll play out like a six-hour film sometime after that. “Parasite is a film on well-off and helpless families, and that is an issue all over,” Bong says of its all-inclusive allure at Cannes 2021.
“The subject keeps on having reverberation in France and somewhere else. So many of (us) might want to be rich. However, I think in every last one of us, there is a dread of getting poor.” “I had no clue about that Parasite would be a particularly worldwide hit,” he adds, as announced by IndieWire. “Its prosperity was a long way above and beyond. Even though I made it in the very same manner as typical.
Furthermore, I stay unaltered by it.” To address the TV transformation – a “dark satire” – he says that it will be “something of extraordinary virtuoso, I trust I worked with Adam McKay, and he’s sorting out the situation. We will do it in the United States.”
In May this year, McKay clarified that the show is unique. However, it happens in “a similar universe” as the Parasite includes film: “It’s a unique story that lives in that equivalent world.” In February, Tilda Swinton was tapped for a lead job close by Mark Ruffalo in the series, quickly gotten by HBO. Even though the projecting decisions haven’t been authoritatively affirmed, Swinton has recently featured in Bong’s Okja and Snowpiercer.
