Nicolas Winding Refn is going to stick to TV for a while. His Amazon series Too
Old to Die Young, starring Miles Teller, made him say this: “For me choosing to
do an episodic series was more about doing something where there’s longevity,
the length of it – I’m no longer bound by the norms of what the state of
theatrical film is. I wasn’t interested in television; I was interested in what
I can do with a canvas that is endless. It’s like traveling to outer space.
There’s no meeting point. There’s no official end. It just continues creatively.
I mean you go to work every day and go, ‘What would I like to do today?’ And you
have great people around to help you with what that is. It’s a bit like doing an
enormous painting. It’s a mural on the Empire State Building and you decide to
paint the entire thing, but along the way you decided to change a little bit.
Suddenly, you need to change all the colors as you go along and images
themselves, mutate.” He will stick to TV because he sees more freedom so that
planned Barbarella film isn’t happening anytime soon. |
