The creator of ‘Squid Game’ has another more macabre project

Hwang Dong-hyuk, the writer and director of the TV series Squid Game is working on a new project that he himself considers more sinister than his huge hit on Netflix last fall.

Already, many people were shocked by Squid Game, a series in which 456 people with money problems participated in children’s games in the hope of winning a big prize. However, the losers of each game were executed on the spot.

The South Korean’s new project is tentatively titled Killing Old People Club based on a novel written by Umberto Eco, according to Variety.

The filmmaker lifted the veil on his project yesterday at MIPTV at the international television market in France.

« It will be more violent than Squid Game. » The new film would be based on the murder of old people. The author has reportedly already developed more than 25 pages for the film, which he says will be « another controversial movie. »

Fans of Squid Gamewere also pleased to learn at MIPTV that Hwang Dong-hyuk plans to give his fans Squid Game 2 in late 2024.
