Damián Szifron revealed that he is working on a continuation of “Wild Tales”

After the announcement of his participation as a jury at the prestigious Cannes film festival, Damián Szifron revealed that he is working on a continuation of the acclaimed film “Wild Tales”, and said that the feature film about “The Simulators” will be released next year. About the second part of “Wild Tales”, the director commented that “it is a script that I am writing; since we premiered the first one in Cannes, we felt that we could”, and specified that “there are 6 stories and I had 12 or 14 written”. In that vein, Szifron detailed how the plot could continue. “I’m working on two possible continuations of that. ‘ More stories, more wilder’, which would take place in Argentina entirely. But I traveled so much in recent years that another idea came to me which is ‘Wild Planets’. It gets more global. You have episodes in different languages, in different cultures and contexts,” he explained. I don’t know if it’s two films, one or a trilogy. But let’s say that there is an expanding world with Wild Tales, “he added later, in an interview with Jonatan Viale in Pan y Circo, by Radio Rivadavia.Also, the director of “Misanthrope” referred to the release date of the expected film of “The Simulators”. “The Simulators movie is released sometime in 2024. In an ideal world winter holidays 2024. I’m writing the script. There will be international locations, from Argentina to the world. What are they going to solve? Among other things, inflation,” he joked then. On the other hand, Szifron spoke about the process of creating his latest film. “I felt that I was not going to be happy because it was a very complex film to write, to finance, to shoot, a very hard-fought path, very combative. I was afraid that the film would be released and that it would not reflect or express a certain theme or feelings. There was no study that wanted to talk about this issue of mass shootings. They give the green light to films that do not generate films. The criticism of the United States is not the same as that made by someone who comes from outside, but when you see an American film you do not feel that it is foreign like a Swedish one. For a Chinese film to arrive, it has to have won an Oscar,” he said. In addition, the filmmaker noted that “misanthropy is contempt for humanity. I have friends who might be called misanthropes, but, to extreme degrees, it has led to mass murder. The film shows a shooter shooting on New Year’s Eve.”
