Premiering at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, the first trailer for the long-awaited Snowpiercer TV series has been revealed.
The series is based on Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 dystopian film of the same name, which was based on the graphic novel La Transperceneige from Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette. The film stars Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris, Octavia Spencer and Jamie Bell. The film and its forthcoming series adaptation detail a post-apocalyptic future where the world has become uninhabitable, leading to life on a continuously moving train that circles the frozen globe. Having lived like this for several years, the passengers’ class divisions begin to crack, and they create disarray and a bubbling revolution among the crowded train.
In the series adaptation, Hamilton’s Daveed Diggs is portraying Evans’ character of a lower-class citizen who leads the revolution, while Jennifer Connelly (Alita: Battle Angel) acts as the head of hospitality on the train, i.e. the Swinton character.
