And then when I saw them realized, it’s really extraordinary,” Connelly said. No, actually it felt really exciting — I was a fan of the first movie and being part of this was an extraordinary experience. I really liked the character, I thought she’d be really fun to play. As we’ve seen with Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica, if a series doesn’t get off the ship every once in a while, the world can start to feel claustrophobic, or even boring.

Snowpiercer has already been renewed for a second season, which promises even more exploration of the never-ending train. “It is a contained system but there’s such diversity. I love that there was a woman in that position, and I wanted to know how she got there and who she was.". I love all of what I do but I particularly love the imaginative work at the beginning, when you’re exploring a character and who she might be.

"That was the thing that got me, was when you understand what she’s carrying and who she really is," she tells SYFY WIRE. She is looking at the big picture and she really focused on this goal of hers — the survival of humanity — and to accomplish that she feels she needs to make certain sacrifices. "I feel like the people that you meet in the very beginning, and especially I think it’s definitely true with Melanie, you don’t end up in the same place. The answers become Melanie's character arc, and the challenge for Jennifer was to slowly humanize the villain over 10 episodes, and that's what we so carefully worked toward with the writers.". When we started shooting, the scripts were coming in as we were working and we didn’t even have a definitive bible for the series. "You know, it’s interesting because she’s not who you think she is when you first meet her," she says. Snowpiercer is based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, rather than the 2013 film—although Alison Wright did say during the SDCC panel that her character Ruth was loosely inspired by Tilda Swinton’s performance, most notably her accent. Given the changing climate for movies and television, were you looking for a TV drama — or were you sold on this script in particular? Did being a parent of three make it easy to step into that role? Sometimes I want to sit and watch “The Great British Baking Show,” but sometimes I want to watch something that makes me think about just how surreal our world is right now and this show does that. It was like nothing I’d done before. I find contradictory characters, someone who would make different choices than I would make, really interesting. Fangrrls is about kicking down doors, breaking boundaries and celebrating female fans with fun, witty and entertaining content. She’s not who we think she is when we meet her in the first few episodes. But it was this piece I read that I was intrigued by. Audiences will go back and forth over the course of the season – you’ll be totally against her and then you’ll be with her and then you’ll say, “Oh no!” That is interesting for me. Throughout the pilot, we hear Wilford's name and listen to tales of his benevolence and brilliance, but we never see him. Video Editor and Staff Writer at io9. Snowpiercer takes place entirely on a train. CLICK HERE TO TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS. While the series is inspired by the original French graphic novel, Le Transperceneige, as well as director Bong Joon-ho's film, this incarnation of Snowpiercer isn't going down exactly the same track. Outside of the United States, the show will be available on Netflix beginning May 25. After a long wait, Snowpiercer finally got rolling on Sunday with a series premiere that introduced us to the world of the great ark train and its major characters — and laid out a mystery that could take up much of the season. This train’s got layers. That’s a risky move for a television show. A lot of people went back and watched “Contagion” and “Outbreak.”. For much of its first episode, this Snowpiercer shares one key thing in common with Bong's film: The enigmatic presence of Mr. Wilford, the mastermind behind the train who tends the engine at the front of it all and never reveals himself to passengers. Because of the nature of the series, which is primarily set seven years after Snowpiercer departed with the remnants of the human race on board, it's important for Connelly to emphasize that who Melanie is and who Melanie was are not necessarily the same thing anymore.
