HBO’s PARASITE Limited Series Snags Mark Ruffalo?
Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite snagged Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Feature, and more at the Oscars this past weekend. There is an HBO limited series in the works already and today we hear that Mark Ruffalo is being eyed to play one of the series’ leads.
HBO says: “The HBO limited series inspired by Parasite is in the early stages of development, and to speculate on any characters or casting is wildly premature.”

That said, Collider acknowledges that this story may be premature, but the word “premature” is synonymous with “early,” not “wrong.” So I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Won’t we?

It centers on the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.
