Siamo ormai vicini al debutto della nuova serie di Hulu, tratta dal romanzo satirico e antimilitarista di Joseph Heller, Comma 22.
George Clooney sarà il protagonista della nuova versione in sei puntate, diretta assieme a Grant Heslov e Ellen Kuras, che sarà rilasciata il 17 maggio prossimo.
Ciascuno ha diretto due episodi di Comma 22, mentre Luke Davies e David Michôd hanno scritto la sceneggiatura.
Nel cast ricchissimo non ci sono solo Clooney e Christopher Abbott, nei panni del protagonista Yossarian: del battaglione fanno parte anche Kyle Chandler, Hugh Laurie e il nostro Giancarlo Giannini.
Based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.
