Bong Joon-ho Expresses Interest in Directing an Episode of Netflix’s “Mindhunter”
Obviously, this needs to happen.
South Korean director Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Snowpiercer, Okja) is currently making the interview rounds to promote his new movie Parasite, which many critics have called yet another masterpiece from the brilliant filmmaker. Speaking with Collider, Joon-ho was asked which TV series he’d like to direct an episode of, and his answer is sure to excite you.
“Mindhunter,” Joon-ho told the site. “I’m very familiar with the original book because when I was working on Memories of Murder I studied a lot about American serial killers.”
He continued, “And of course that book is written by the first criminal profiler, so it was basically like the bible. I’m very familiar with the serial killers featured in that book as well.”
Joon-ho is of course referring to John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker’s Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, which serves as the basis for Netflix’s “Mindhunter.”
The second season of “Mindhunter” hit Netflix back in August.
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
