Bong Joon Ho ha finalmente chiarito come il suo capolavoro, Parasite, potrà diventare una serie per HBO, adattata e prodotta da Adam McKay (Vice, La grande scommessa).
Ha paragonato l’operazione alla versione televisiva di Fanny & Alexander di Bergman, che durava 5 ore e 12 e che comprendeva ed espandeva il film di 3 ore del 1982.
Il nuovo Parasite ha la stessa ambizione: “I had all these key ideas accumulated from when I started writing the script. I just couldn’t include all those ideas in the two-hour running time of the film, so they’re all stored in my iPad and my goal with this limited series is to create a six-hour-long film.”
Ad esempio: “When the original housekeeper Mun Gwang (Lee Jung Eun) comes back in the late-night, something happened to her face. Even her husband asked about it but she never answered. I know why she had the bruises on her face. I have a story for that and aside from that why does she know the existence of this bunker? What relationship does she have with that architect to know of this bunker? So I have all these hidden stories that I have stored.”
Il resto – il film originale sarà ripreso all’interno della mini-serie? sarà girato tutto ex novo? In quale lingua? – lo sapremo presto…
