Nicolas Winding Refn says that the characters in his upcoming Netflix series Copenhagen Cowboy, are a “female evolution” of characters from previous projects such as Valhalla Rising, Drive and Only God Forgives.
Speaking at a press conference at the Venice Film Festival today, the Danish helmer said, “I’ve done films in the past with a certain type of character that was first played by Mads Mikkelsen in Valhalla Rising on one hand and then Ryan Gosling played him as a driver in Drive and then Vithaya [Pansringarm] played him as a lieutenant in Only God Forgives.
“So, I was working with Robert Wade and Neal Purvis, or Purvis and Wade as they are called, on a larger female evolution of that character and then suddenly one night, I was like, ‘maybe I should try to do a version of it as female and not just one but many.’ So, I said, ‘I’m going to make my version of a superhero show.’ And that was the kind of aspiration to do it.”
The series, which premieres in Venice today, revolves around a young heroine called Miu (Angela Bundalovic). After a lifetime of servitude and on the verge of a new beginning, she traverses the ominous landscape of the eponymous city’s criminal netherworld. Searching for justice and enacting vengeance, she encounters her nemesis, Rakel, as they embark on an odyssey through the natural and the supernatural. The past ultimately transforms and defines their future, as the two women discover they are not alone, they are many.

of one of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims says the new Netflix dramatization of the cannibal’s murder spree has dredged up painful trauma for his family — who are “pissed” at the streaming giant.Errol Lindsey, 19, became the twisted killer and sex offender’s 11th known victim when he was brutally murdered in July 1991, after being lured to Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment to drink beer.Dahmer, who murdered and dismembered 17 men and boys, drilled a hole in Lindsey’s skull before pouring acid into it and decapitating him, authorities said.The sickening crimes were retold in Netflix’s “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” which aired Wednesday — leaving many viewers “nauseated.” Lindsey’s cousin Eric Perry took to Twitter after it dropped to slam the streaming hit.“I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show,” Perry wrote next to a side by side shot of his cousin, Rita Isbell, delivering a victim’s impact statement at Dahmer’s trial and the series’ reenactment. “It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?”Isbell also told Insider that Netflix did not consult or pay her for the reenactment of her emotional courtroom outburst — which led to her being pulled off the stand by court officers.“When I saw some of the show, it bothered me, especially when I saw myself — when I saw my name come across the screen and this lady saying verbatim exactly what I said, she reportedly said.“If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought it was me.

Narco-Saints.According to Reuters, a statement from the Suriname government announced plans to explore legal action against the producers of Narco-Saints (titled Suriname in its Korean promotional material), saying it negatively portrays the South American country as a “narco state”.The statement reportedly that the series’ depiction was based on past “crime and cross-border activities”, which the government says it has endeavoured for decades to eradicate.

What would it look like if Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn took a stab at a superhero show? If one guessed neon-soaked, with a penchant for nihilism and framed through the throbbing tempo of synthesizer beats, they would be correct, of course. NWR’s familiar triad of sorrow, synth, and neon guides his latest, Netflix’s six-part series “Copenhagen Cowboy.” The sprawling show trails Miu (Angela Bundalovic), an unlikely heroine presented as a non-descript magical entity whose powers go from healing long-lasting migraines to allowing post-menopausal women another shot at fertility.
Nicolas Winding Refn‘s upcoming Netflix series “Copenhagen Cowboy” premieres today at the Venice Film Festival, his first project in three years. It’s also his first project in his native Denmark in fifteen years.

For all the noise that Nicolas Winding Refn makes with his daring, provocative, controversial, and challenging films, perhaps one of the least-seen things any modern auteur has made in recent years is his series, “Too Old To Die, Young,” starring Miles Teller which was seemingly not promoted and dumped on Amazon in the summer of 2019. That’s a shame because as difficult as it was to watch, violent, gruesome, brutal, and confrontational as it was, “Too Old To Die Young” was a blistering statement about America.
