The cult show, which was released as a five-hour movie in some territories, had originally been planned to run for three seasons but never completed due in part to the deaths of key cast members Ernst-Hugo Järegård and Kirsten Rolffes. Producers Zentropa are keeping details under wraps but did say the new edition will be a mix of new and returning characters.

@beflygelt lets gooooo!

Been saving the original for a rainy day. Already seen the major Trier features. I know The House That Jack Built was supposed to be a show. This kind of feels like capitulation to re-enter the medium, but Trier capitulating isn't likely.

Refn's TV show on Amazon Too Old To Die Young was sensational. Hope this is on par even if the resources won't be.

@Aruji

omfg I'm super hype rn!!!

Won't be the same without Stig Helmer tho

Nice

Yeah there's quite a few things to work around tbh... Wonder if he'll keep the disabled Greek choir too. The whole vibe will be different, but I can see von Trier pulling it off if Lynch was able to too

Udo Kier gotta return

was thinking the same :(

I just watched the house that jack built recently. Gotta tap into this

The House That Jack Built as a show

give a quick review?

It's still got the episodic structure. I'm sure they just parred down some of the segments.

Of the house that jack built? I’m typing an article right now but I’ll do it when I’m done

This sounds dope

make a letterboxd account brother

What’s that

goat intro

Fan of Lars Von Trier but didn't know about this. Just did some research about the original version and this is the next series I'm watching

In

Rly fun show with lots of great characters and nice (slightly campy) spooky vibes, and also with that usual Trier twisted-ness.

He was inspired to do TV because of Twin Peaks and you can see that influence with the ensemble writing and even color grading.

Imo one of the best things he's done!

Has he ever mentioned David Lynch as an influence :​
