this week. At a press event in Seoul on Wednesday they reflected on lessons from the Academy Awards.
“It will be a five to six-episode limited series; no season 2 or 3. We are developing it as a dense black comedy/crime series that thoroughly explores the rich-poor gap of our time,” said Bong. “It is not official that Tilda Swinton and Mark Ruffalo will star in the series, as some hasty stories have reported recently. The ‘Snowpiercer’ series, which is set for TV premiere in May in North America, took some five years to be aired.
