Parasite is a 2019 South Korean black comedy thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Han Jin-won. Parasite outlines how the working class is forced into conflict against one another, fighting for scraps, while families like the Parks live a comfortable life, fueled by the labor of the many individuals working beneath them.
Bong Joon Ho's Parasite completely dominated the Oscars by winning 4 out of 6 nominations. The film Parasite is a hit in terms of both critics and fans. It is said that even before receiving the Oscars the director had plans to expand the movie into a tv series and also he was in talks with HBO and producer Adam McKay.
It is said that Bong had many ideas while writing Parasite but couldn't fit it in the 2hr running time, which made the idea of making a tv series. Bong said that there are many hidden stories inside the story which he has stored in his Ipad.
The series is in a talk at a very early stage of development. Till now the series is full of uncertainties. We are not sure whether the series will be in English or Korean, will the same cast be acting.
What can we expect?
Bong said that the series is not a remake of the film but it is an expansion of the Parasite universe he created in the film. Picking up on elements that were hintend but not explored between the scenes.
The series will have 6 episodes with each an hour long.
HBO issued a statement,
“The HBO limited series inspired by Parasite is in the early stages of development, and to speculate on any characters or casting is wildly premature.”
It was said that the series will start to take shape at the beginning of March, but its been July and no official announcements are happening. HBO said that the production is likely to start in early 2021, but due to the pandemic situation all over the world, the production may delay let's hope for the best!...
It is rumored that the 4 times academic award nominee Mark Ruffalo is likely the choice of being one of the leads of the HBO series. It’s hard to say whom, exactly, Ruffalo will be playing. However, as with most movies and TV series, the biggest roles are typically cast first.
