Bong Joon-ho has opened up about the reason why he is turning Parasite into an HBO limited series, explaining there are "so many stories" to be told "in between the sequences" of his breakout Korean-language thriller. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director, who recently landed six Oscar nominations for Parasite, including Best Picture, spoke about his prospective TV adaptation with producer-director Adam McKay, saying they're ultimately planning to create "a high-quality, expanded film."
