I donno if the Korean sensibilities/comedy will translate in an english adaptation.

HBO x Bong Joon GOAT.

Ofc Im in

What?

I mean movie was great but it definitely doesn’t need a series lol

At least he disappointed us same week . Likely HBO only signed off he did English

Please god let this not be a US remake

Can we just get Snowpiercer 2 please

Laughs in hbo saw the money of a show that will be cheap to make

Of course the Americans try to cash in and exploit this man's work. Everyone predicted this lmao

I’m thinking same...it’s tough to make 8 hours of interesting content.

!!!

This too real

Like when it was a movie it at least felt good to see unknown actors with subtitles and people who normally don’t get to shine . The problem with it being an HBO series is they will cast actors and actresses Americans know well . Same people get to eat rather than new people . Also I mean the humor kind of lost to me if it’s in English. Part of the funny to me was reading the translation and realizing how much personality the characters had or their expression of emotion while lying in an Language I don’t know

More details from Bong via Deadline:

News emerged last week that Bong would soon adapt Parasite into an HBO series with Adam McKay. McKay tweeted in August how he had seen and loved Parasite. “I really liked Adam McKay’s The Big Short and I loved his sense of humour, and the sharp satire he conveyed about the current American politics,” Bong said today. “With Parasite, while I was writing the script I had so many more ideas I couldn’t convey into the two-hour running time of the film. I knew that if I had a longer running time, I would be able to tell these stories, and I that’s what I plan to talk about with Adam pretty soon.”

He cited the extended Fanny and Alexander miniseries from 1983 as proof that the concept of an expanded story could work on TV. “Though I’m not very familiar with the TV industry, I really consider this limited series an expanded film that can delve deeper into the stories that didn’t make it into Parasite. Adam McKay and HBO have created the amazing show Succession, so they’re very reliable and amazing partners to have.”

Whether the series will be in English or Korean, the director said, was open for discussion as plans started to form around March. But Parasite’s success this morning includes a remarkable first Best Picture nomination for Korean cinema, which has a storied history. After winning the Golden Globe last weekend, the director spoke of the need for audiences to assail the “one-inch tall barrier of subtitles,” to discover more cinema. “I think this was the case not only for the US but for most countries including Korea, where audiences mainly watch domestic films or Hollywood blockbusters,” Director Bong said today. “It wasn’t very common for diverse films to cross continents and access different audiences. But I think audiences are opening up to these films and the fact that this Korean-language film was nominated for Oscars, and was really embraced by US audiences reflects that change of attitude. It’s sort of like a proof for how audiences are opening up.

Mfs can get the ENTIRE f*** outta here with the hate

If they do

"Americans" nigga he involved he played your dumbass

A whole series

Yall so quick to hate s***

Yeah for $$$ only. He’s a sellout

Bong refers to Fanny & Alexander but Fanny & Alexander was directed by Ingmar Begman (the same director as the Fanny & Alexander film) AND it wasn't in English.

I swear to god if this turns into some Evangelion Rebuild s***

Dont be dumb. Nigga said he had more ideas that he couldn't fit into the movie. How is he a sellout if he tryna expand on the themes of his own idea?

Especially when it comes to adaptations of s***. Niggas be so sensitive like they made the work themselves
