‘The Mosquito Coast’ Author Paul Theroux Explains How A Third Season Renewal Of Apple TV+ Drama Would Lead To His 1981 Novel & Peter Weir’s Harrison Ford-Helen Mirren Film
12.01.2023 - 21:47 / deadline.com
SPOILER ALERT: After an explosive Season Two finale of The Mosquito Coast, a decision looms imminently on whether Apple TV+ reups. It so, the third season heads right into the territory of Paul Theroux’s 1981 novel that Peter Weir turned into a cult classic movie with Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and River Phoenix. The one where Ford’s brilliant counterculture inventor Allie Fox becomes so obsessed with imposing a vision of utopia that he nearly takes down his family. Here, the author discusses seeing his famed novel pre-quelized by Neil Cross (Luther), the improvements over his book, his nephew Justin starring, and why he’s so rooting for one more season.
DEADLINE: How do you feel about the Fox family possibly heading down the same rabbit hole they did in the Peter Weir film, in search of utopia.
PAUL THEROUX: I was delighted when Fremantle and Apple first picked it up at, and wondered how they would start. They found a clever way in, by creating a backstory. The novel had no backstory, just a hint that Allie Fox had a disturbed past. He’s hyperactive, may have spent some time at Harvard, as well as in a hospital. I suggested in the book there was something wrong but didn’t say what it was. The people who created the show, Neil Cross, Rupert Wyatt and others, created the very plausible backstory that Allie (Justin Theroux) is a highly intelligent enemy of the state.
And that his wife, Margo (Melissa George), has a history of being an eco-terrorist. You didn’t know in the first season why they’re pursued by the feds, but we discovered in that first episode of the second season that Margo was in a plot to blow up a government building. I didn’t have that, and it’s a very substantial basis for the narratives that follow.
