'Parasite' HBO Limited Series in the Works From Bong Joon Ho, Adam McKay
Talks are underway with HBO, which came out on top of a bidding war with Netflix for the rights.
Parasite, one of the most acclaimed movies of 2019, is heading to HBO as a limited series.
Bong Joon Ho, who wrote and directed the Palm d’or winner and Oscar hopeful, is teaming with Adam McKay, whose recent work The Big Short and Vice has earned him multiple awards nominations.
Deals are not done but talks are underway with HBO, which came out on top of a bidding war with Netflix for the rights.
Parasite followed the poor but cunning Kim family as they ingratiated themselves into the lives of their wealthy employers, the Park family. The relationship between the two clans went through several twists and ultimately ended up having deadly consequences.
It is unclear if the limited series will be some sort of follow-up to the movie or an English-language remake.
The Korean movie, seen as a take on class warfare as well as a genre thriller, has earned over $23 million at the domestic box office, and a massive $130 million at the global box office. A possible best picture contender, the movie has already racked up awards, including Sunday's Golden Globes win for best motion picture - foreign language. It was recently named best picture by the National Society of Film Critics and appeared on many top 10 of 2019 lists.
Creative details are in the early stages but Bong and McKay would adapt the movie for an English-language limited series. The pair would exec produce as well.
Award is a tie between Bong Joon Ho and Sam Mendes (‘1917’). =,=
