David Cronenberg on TV

Image Although David Cronenberg has directed episodes of television shows a couple of times, such as for Friday the 13th, the director has never had a show of his own. That will change soon as Variety reports that David is currently developing a project for small screens.

The director of the cult films "Fly" and "Videodrome" went to the Venice Film Festival for an honorary award and at the same time said that he is now working on his own television project. Cronenberg declined to reveal the details of the series, but shared a few general thoughts on how the boundaries between film and TV have blurred over the past decades.

Today, TV screens are getting bigger and bigger, and therefore the difference between going to a multiplex and watching at home is becoming insignificant,” the filmmaker complained. However, he does not think that the film industry is dying, but believes that it is, on the contrary, evolving. David noted that this is reflected, in particular, in the visual style used by the directors: “Previously, close-ups were typical only for TV shows, but now this is not at all the case.

Fans of the work of the master of body horror can be sure that Cronenberg would not have dared to shoot a project for small screens if he had not been absolutely sure of his work: in 2015 he gave up the director's chair for the second season of True Detective, because he did not liked the script.
