Den of Thieves
Filmmaker Christian Gudegast has confirmed to Slashfilm that the “Den of Thieves” films were considered for a TV series at one point and he had enough research material to pivot – but ultimately it didn’t happen that way:
“It was written as a feature, and there was just a moment where, at that time, they were taking feature scripts and turning them into television series. That happened with another project I was working on. In other words, I had so much material that it would’ve been easy to do, but then we ended up making the movie and here we are.”
All We Imagine As Light
Indian director Payal Kapadia is developing two further films that are going to be forming a trilogy with her acclaimed 2024 debut “All We Imagine as Light” which won the Cannes Grand Prize and was named the #1 Film of the Year in various outlets like the New York Times and Sight & Sound magazine.
Kapadia confirms that writing on her next film has begun and it’s going to be set in Bombay and the plan is “to have this kind of a trilogy”. [Source: Variety]
