Among the myriad of projects that Netflix drive sure that there are many that make us lazy, but also a few that we are looking forward to seeing as soon as possible. Today I come to talk to you about one of them, well Spike Jonze is preparing an ambitious science fiction miniseries that also wants it to be his professional reunion with joaquin phoenix 10 years after the great ‘Her’.
why would it be special
You have to go back to the summer of last year to find the first mention of a collaboration between the director of ‘Adaptation (The Orchid Thief)’ and the platform, but since then we’ve hardly had any news about it. And the truth is that we still have no idea what his story is, but it has come out since the protagonist of ‘Joker’ has a firm offer to head its cast.
That is by no means a guarantee that Phoenix will lead this new job by Jonze, among other things because he is very demanding when it comes to selecting the roles he accepts. To this we must add that heCam a whopping 34 years without participating in a television seriesWell, you have to go back to 1989 to find his episodic appearances in ‘The Adventures of Superboy’ and ‘Still the Beaver’ when he was still a teenager who used his real name Leaf Proenix.
The possibility of being the first miniseries starring Phoenix already makes this project special, but it should not be forgotten that Jonze has not directed any fictional film since ‘Her’ in 2013, although he did deal with the documentary ‘The story of the Beastie Boys’. In addition, this miniseries would not be his first collaboration with Netflix, since he has already signed the staging of the comedy special ‘Aziz Ansari: Right Now’.
By the way, this miniseries that Jonze is going to be in charge of both writing and directing It is not his only project on Netflixbecause it also has an animated series in development of which no more details have been released.
