I’m good friends with the author, so we talked quite a bit about the way he imagined that world evolving.
What were your inspirations for the show? Were those details specified in the book? The show has a scintillating concept that is gorgeously realized by its sumptuous design. I put my coat on-or off (laughs)-as the need arose. After a while, everything just fell into place.
I wanted their stillness and how they’re always ready to lunge. With Takeshi, I tried out impressions of different animals, like big cats … tigers … and how they move. In terms of characterization, I don’t think about it too much. Joel (J): I trained for three to five hours a day for six months. The role doesn’t just require physical preparation, because Takeshi is also very sensitive. Scene fromNetflix’s provocative cyberpunk series-from science fiction to “science fact?”Įxcerpts from our Q&A with Joel and creator/showrunner Laeta Kalogridis: Laurens has “reincarnated” himself by way of his cryogenically stored clone to avenge his own death. The reawakened rebel, who happens to be the only survivor of a failed rebellion against the totalitarian Protectorate that governs the world, finds himself trapped in a white man’s “sleeve” (Joel) as he navigates a strange but alluring dystopian world tasked with the mission of solving the murder of 375-year-old Laurens Bancroft (James), the wealthiest man in the Settled Worlds.
ALTERED CARBON NUDE SERIAL
Takeshi “comes back from the dead” 300 years after his consciousness is “put to sleep,” stored in a downloadable disk, called Digital Human Freight (DHF)-not unlike the USB (universal serial bus) we use for storing data these days. It gives the story of its beleaguered protagonist, 22nd century mercenary Takeshi Kovacs (Will Yun Lee), a measure of credibility and plausibility. What makes the show truly fascinating is that it banks on a “science-fiction” idea that could soon be developed into a “science-fact” concept.
The series expands and expounds on the cutting-edge themes tackled in Richard K.
