Stefano Sollima, the Italian director known in Hollywood for “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and TV show “Gomorrah,” is the main creative force behind cocaine-trafficking series “ZeroZeroZero,” which…

Sollima spoke toHow did “It all started with Roberto Saviano’s book [the same author of “Gomorrah”], which is completely different from the series that we ended up writing. The book is an exposé of the cocaine trade. But at its core, and this is what drew me, is the idea of depicting the cocaine trade from a different perspective…of narrating cocaine just like any other merchandise.So we tried to imagine the narrative of “ZeroZeroZero” as a voyage. The voyage of a cargo carrying cocaine….

Besides coming up with the concept, directing, and working with the writers , what has your role been? Do you consider yourself the showrunner? I’m the showrunner, Italian-style. Actually, Sollima-style. What I mean is that showrunner is usually the writer who coordinates the activity of other writers and directors on set. In this case it’s a bit different because I worked with great screenwriters, together with whom we created the series. We all wrote all the episodes together; I must say, more the other writers than myself.

On the directorial side, what I did with the two other directors [Pablo Trapero and Janus Metz, who split the last six episodes] is not what a classic U.S.-style showrunner does. I sought directors whose vision and narrative ability were spot-on and easy to blend with my work so that I could have their 100% creative input without any vigilance on my part….The ability is more in forming the team than in micromanaging it.The idea was to narrate the world of those who ordered the cargo, and why.
