You may already know this, but Damien Chazelle is a big fan of jazz. His movies Whiplash and La La Land are chock-full of jazz, baby, and he’s not ashamed to keep those sweet, sweet jazz tunes swinging into his next project – The Eddy.
The Netflix series was created by Chazelle, who also directs some
episodes, and follows a once-celebrated jazz pianist played by André Holland who owns a struggling jazz club in Paris. Watch The Eddy trailer below. I know Damien Chazelle gets a lot of guff for his obsession with jazz, but I continue to be a fan of his work, and I’m very curious about his new show The Eddy. The series features André Holland, who is great in everything, so at the very least, it’ll have some wonderful acting in it. Here’s the show’s premise of the series, which is described as taking place in “the vibrant multicultural neighborhoods of modern-day Paris”:
Sure, the “jazz pianist who opens a club” thing sounds very similar to La La Land, but I’m still intrigued. In addition to the names mentioned above, The Eddy also features Melissa George, Adil Dehbi, Benjamin Biolay, Tchéky Karyo, and rapper Sopico. As you might have guessed, the show is going to be loaded with musical performances. The Eddy was created as a collaboration between Alan Poul, Damien Chazelle, Jack Thorne, and Glen Ballard, who also wrote the songs and established The Eddy’s band of real-life musicians Randy Kerber, Ludovic Louis, Lada Obradovic, Jowee Omicil, and Damian Nueva Cortes. The Eddy jazzes up Netflix on May 8, 2020. from www.slashfilm.com |
