First, he was asked how the Cate Blanchett casting happened.
He told THR, “In the beginning, I was tossing around different ideas. I thought, ‘Should it be a man that we see as the recruiter?’ But I thought that, unlike in [the] Korea [version], having a woman who’s a recruiter for the American system would be a nice contrast and also quite a powerful, impactful element. So we were set on having a woman. Then I thought, ‘Who would be the right fit for that?’ It’s a very short scene. There’s only one line, so we needed someone who had that level of presence and charisma to completely dominate the screen in that instant. And that naturally led me to Cate Blanchett. I’ve always been a fan of hers. She’s someone who can instantly grab your attention with a single stare. So that’s how that’s how we set on her.”
He was then asked about rumors that there could be a David Fincher spinoff of Squid Game in the US.
He responded, “Honestly, nothing has been said to me officially by Netflix about this. I’ve only read it in articles myself as well. I’ve always been a huge fan of David Fincher’s work — from Seven and I’ve loved his films. So if he were to create an American Squid Game, I think that would be very interesting to watch. I would definitely click on it immediately after it’s released, if it were to happen.”
