The Snowpiercer cast and EP on the TNT series' rocky development + the show's 'sprinkles' of cannibalism:
TV show, the behind-the-scenes drama has been just as potent as what might appear on the screen . The TNT series is based on both Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 film starring Chris Evans, and the original 1982 French graphic novel. The series will reboot the film’s timeline and start seven years after the Earth has ostensibly been frozen over, killing all life except those who managed to board a perpetually-moving global train, the, with its 1000 self-sustaining cars.
Still, there were a lot of questions about the iterations the show has gone through in those intervening years, with Manson confirming that nothing that is in the premiere was in the original pilot. Alison Wright, who plays a member of the train’s hospitality staff, noted that “it was also huge to shoot the pilot twice, and get another go. That was pretty exciting.” Again, while that’s not uncommon in the theater world for there to be tweaks after previews, it’s pretty unusual in TV.
Manson did reveal that some of the actors had been moved into different roles from the original pilot, but didn’t specify who or in what capacity. “That takes a lot of trust and I appreciated landing with this group of people,” he said. While we may see some flashes of these characters before their time on the train, the season will really be focusing on the leads and the changes they go through during this time. As Connelly said about her character, “in Episode 1 [she’s] very different from the person you know at the end of the season.
