So Jonathan Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, and Jake Gyllenhaal are involved? Damn, this sounds really good.

Their other limited series, White Lotus, doesn’t sound bad either.

quote:

The premium cable network has ordered six episodes of the series, which will begin production this month on location in Hawaii under COVID-19 guidelines. Created, executive produced, written and directed by White, the series is set at an exclusive tropical resort and follows the exploits of various guests and employees over the span of a week.

Murray Bartlett (Looking), Connie Britton (Nashville), Jennifer Coolidge (2 Broke Girls), Alexandra Daddario (True Detective), Fred Hechinger (Eighth Grade), Jake Lacy (Girls), Brittany O’Grady (Little Voice), Natasha Rothwell (Insecure), Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) and Steve Zahn (Treme) star with more cast set to be revealed later.

Kind of sucks how all these projects that would be movies are getting turned into TV shows due to the economics of it all. Future of movies is not great

I disagree. So many movies would work much better as a mini series.

There’s examples of both ways. I think a balance between the two is what’s best for everyone and I think the scales have tipped a bit too far in one direction
