Neil Jordan discusses the 'Borgais' project with The Irish Film and Television Network

An excerpt from an interview with Neil Jordan / Source

 


 

IFTN: Moving away slightly from ‘Ondine’ can you tell us how things are going with your upcoming project ‘Borgias’ with Jeremy Irons?

NJ: It’s brilliant! I have never done anything like this before but the cable series are getting so good, if you look at ‘The Wire’, ‘Mad Men’, ‘Dexter’ and obviously ‘The Sopranos’ it’s becoming clear that some of the best writing and film making the United States is happening inside those shows and every director who does the same thing that I do are all gravitating towards them. They seem to be so consistent and are all done by different directors. Where ‘Borgias’ is concerned, this is a script I have had for a long time and Dreamworks said “Why don’t we make a cable series out of it” so I said “Yes, let’s try and do that”. Since then Showtime have taken it on and its going to be a very interesting journey it will be really exciting and it’s a new one for me. 

IFTN: And we can expect Jeremy Irons to be as excellent as always?

NJ: Yes, I just did some tests with Jeremy and he looks marvellous!!
