The Sympathizer Robert Downey Jr. Park Chan-wook Interview header
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Park Chan-wook makes his triumphant return to TV with The Sympathizer. The South Korean filmmaker became a worldwide phenomenon with the release of 2003's Oldboy adaptation, the second installment in his unofficial The Vengeance Trilogy that began with Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and concluded with 2005's Lady Vengeance.
Director Park & His Team "Went Out Of Our Way" To Hire "Dependable Consultants" While the Vietnamese experience is at the heart of The Sympathizer, Chan-wook is somewhat of an outlier amid the show's creative team as a South Korean leading the charge.
The Sympathizer Isn't A "Line-By-Line Verbatim" Adaptation With a 416-page source material to work off of, McKellar and Director Park had an interesting choice to make of where to begin with tackling adapting The Sympathizer.
HBO Backing A Hollywood-Satirizing Project Was A "Critical Issue" For The Show While seemingly the perfect project for it, The Sympathizer had an interesting hurdle to face with its Hollywood-skewering satire by partnering with HBO and A24 to bring the show to life.
Filming Robert Downey Jr.'s Multiple Roles Was An Interesting Process In a career-first for the Oscar winner, Downey Jr. takes on four different roles in The Sympathizer as a CIA agent, an Occidental grad student professor, a California Congressman, and an auteur filmmaker. In order to capture this effect, including one scene in which all four characters interact with one another, Director Park looked at it as both a "challenge" and a "delight" as Downey Jr.
Director Park Looked To His Own Genre-Blending Past For The Sympathizer While, on the surface, The Sympathizer may seem like a straightforward spy thriller, it actually offers a wide range of genres throughout its run.
