More violent than Squid Game? We’re nervous
(Picture: Netflix)The creator of Squid Game is working on a new film, which he said is going to up the ante on his shocking hit series. In an interview with MipTV, Hwang Dong-hyuk said that he was 25-pages deep into “another controversial film” which “will be more violent than Squid Game”.
The film, which has a working title Killing Old People Club, is going to be based on a novel by Italian philosopher Umberto Eco. It’s unclear which of his books – most of which are historically based – would be the inspiration for Dong-hyuk’s new project, but given that Eco’s work includes stories about monks, murder, alchemy and conspiracies, the film is bound to take audiences somewhere deep and dark and weird.
