Kevin Spacey: "Sometimes I think that in 'House of Cards' going too far; then turn on the TV and I see no "
The actor has opened a marathon day on Netflix's own productions in Paris
Netflix wanted to show the muscle of its own production in a mega event that met in Paris to familiar faces new series as "The crown", "Marseille" or "Special correspondent" and more consolidated as "Daredevil" fictions, "The Ranch " " Orange is the New black " and, of course," House of Cards "which in Spain is emitted through Movistar. Kevin Spacey , star of the first drama platform Internet TV, has been commissioned, along with Ted Sarandos, director Netflix content, to remember those first steps in the field of production.
"House of Cards" he was born four years ago. Spacey and Fincher himself, director and executive producer, presented the project to several chains. "To all it seemed interesting story and wanted to do a pilot. Netflix directly told us how many episodes would do. As creators we have a highway to a very complex history , " said Spacey. So complex that already carry four seasons delving into the sewers of American politics. Although Francis Underwood is, in the words of his interpreter, one of the most amazing and complex characters she has played, not all benefits. "I can not walk peacefully without people panic ' he joked.
This story of power and struggle for control of the White House has become famous not only in America but also around the world, thanks to the international expansion of the company. "I was surprised by the perception of people. I do not think it has been so popular just because people would be interested in American politics , but by the worldview that arises is interesting to see how they identify with those characters , " he said. " It is well known even in China, a site which has not yet reached the platform. For the man in the street, there Francis Underwood is someone who fights against corruption , "he adds with a laugh Spacey, acknowledging that could not have played this unscrupulous politician without his prior experience in Richard III, the play based on the classic Shakespeare.
Beyond the parallels and identifying the public, we must not forget that Underwood is a fictional character. "Some politicians say they have nothing to do with reality , others say that about me too. Sometimes I come home and I think we have gone too far. So then I put the TV and see not so much , "she admitted the actor, who already have an eye on the fifth season. "We are in the process of writing and filming will start on time , " he concluded.
After this return to the origins, they passed through the stage of Netflix actors and creators of youth and children 's fiction as "Beat bugs" or "Shadowhunters' European productions as " The Crown " and " Marseille " and new features such as " The Ranch " and "Special correspondent". Almost all the players repeated the ideas of "creative freedom and personal consumption" which boasts both the platform. We must wait to see if the first European fictions are at the height of American successes.
