When we found out that Bong Joon ho and HBO were developing a Parasite TV show with Adam McKay last week, our first question was “Why?” (followed shortly by “How?” and “No seriously, why?”). We still don’t know “why,” but now we know slightly more about “how,” with Deadline reporting that Bong says the idea behind the TV show is to expand on stories he didn’t have room for in the movie. “While I was writing the script,” Bong explained through his translator, “I had so many more ideas I couldn’t convey into the two-hour running time of the film.” He says he could’ve told more stories if the movie (which got a good number of Oscar nominations this morning) had been longer, and that’s what he’s going to talk about with McKay “pretty soon.”
