Gomorra – The origins debuted on January 9 on Sky Atlantic and NOW streaming and on demand. The interest in the TV series is certainly very high considering that Gomorra was very loved not only in Italy but also abroad. “Even internationally they often asked us when we would remake Gomorra,” said Nils Hartmann, Executive Vice President Sky Studios Italia. “Raging only from a point of view of marketing and industry stretching broth is the simplest solution, as well as doing something that remembers how much already done. Here we decided to take a different road.”.
Gomorra – Le Origini, la presentazione della serie
“There was no fear of extinguishing” added Marco D’Amore during the presentation of the series with Hartmann who reiterated how everything started when the screenwriters found the right key. The historical face of Ciro di Marzio, in Gomorra – The origins are director of the first 4 episodes and artistic supervisor, also because the series tells the origins of Pietro Savastano in 1977 so there would be no reason to bring back the old characters.
D’Amore told how he initially declined the offer: “I give a feeling of deep gratitude and devoted love to this project and to the people who have realized it. At the budget of 10 years of life, I felt perhaps I had no capacity. I also had a little prejudice to beat a road that we had already gone. I was denied that I had no fear of extinguishing. From the talent of the screenwriters because from the beginning there was a different perfume. It was necessary to go somewhere else and risk falling.”.
Una serie tv ancora vista
Actually, it’s not just words. The six episodes of Gomorra – The origins take a different path than the original series but fortunately do not force the hand on the teenage theme as the initial idea and the first trailers could let you think (but on this we return with the review). Hartman: “Gomorra is a series that is still seen and is a series seen from the beginning to the end, often even from other platforms we talk about so many numbers but we never talk about holding on all seasons, how many heads remain.”.
The producer of Cattleya, Riccardo Tozzi confirmed how Marco D’Amore strongly wanted: “Someone needed to know the world of Gomorrah. While prequel there are calls that trigger emotional cords in those who look. Initially the idea frightened us, as it is right. The thing that pleased us is to return to that initial spirit of discovery of new actors, young people.” Maddalena Ravagli, screenwriter with Leonardo Fasoli, highlighted how the characters of Gomorra began to see them in a complete way, imagining how they could be when everything was still possible, when their life could take a different path.
The last two episodes were directed by Francesco Ghiaccio who has known D’Amore for a long time and told how he also witnessed the first 4 episodes so as to have all the set of history and style built already introjected. During the presentation D’Amore emphasized how there is a link with the world of C’era once in America that represents a point of reference.
Dove è stata girata
Gomorra – The origins open with a documentary in which it remembers how in 1977 in Secondigliano 1 child out of 7 did not reach the year. This was the setting of a city split by a street where on the one hand there are shops, shops and on the other the abandoned barracks. Together with the actors they worked on the Neapolitan dialect of those years which is different from today. The plan now is to move forward for another 2-3 seasons (as was also anticipated by deadline in exclusive), the bets were turned to San Giovanni in Teduccio where the Secondigliano of the time was rebuilt while another part is turned to Nola.
