Confusing enough for ya, chief?
Fans of the Coen Brothers’ 1996 masterpiece Fargo let out a joyful "jeez" when FX said it was serializing the film for a new TV series -- but forgive them for scratching their heads just a bit. Is it a sequel? A prequel? A spin-off?
Marge Gunderson herself probably put it best with her final line from the film: “I just don’t understand it."
Well, the stars of the new show, which debuts April 15 on FX, are here to explain in the two-minute video, above.
“I think when something’s really good like Fargo was, fans will want to see more,” says Billy Bob Thornton. “It’s the kind of movie that lends itself to expanding. Same place. Same type of people. New stuff happens.”
Colin Hanks and Bob Odenkirk also weigh in on what exactly they’ve been up to in a frozen corner of North Dakota. Says Hanks: “We’re making a ten-hour movie.”
And it’s a beautiful day.
