Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive was almost ignored in the Oscar nominations. This is not the case in the 1st Live for Films Movie Awards – Go Vote Here.
James Sallis has written a sequel to Drive. Called Driven you can read more about that here.
Refn was recently asked in an interview about the possibility of directing a sequel to the movie.
Well I think that… hmm. Let me just say that I haven’t made up my mind yet. Stranger things have happened…
A rather evasive answer, but it is better than nothing.
Refn has also directed TV shows in the UK. He did a couple of Marple episodes in 2007 which surprised me and he wanted to do an episode featuring a certain Time Lord.
I did two episodes of Marple back to back because, basically, I needed the money. It was fun — a good experience. I really liked working with Geraldine McEwan, she was a great actress. And Amanda Burton, too.
I would have loved to direct Doctor Who but they didn’t want me — they turned me down last year. Maybe if they revive Blake’s 7 I could do that. I love it. It’s great. That could be fun to update.
Just imagine what a Doctor Who episode directed by him could have been like.
Should there be a movie sequel to Drive or should it stand as a one off?
