Set in the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles, Too Old to Die Young will “explore various characters’ existential journeys from being killers to becoming samurai in the city of angels.” I couldn’t tell you exactly what that means, and yet it sounds exactly like something that’d be up Refn’s alley. I mean, what else would you expect from a guy who’s made three films about “a mythological creature that has a mysterious past but cannot relate to reality because he’s heightened and pure fetish,” played by three completely different actors in otherwise unrelated storylines?
While Too Old to Die Young will be Refn’s first American TV series, he previously wrote and produced episodes of the Danish drama The Chosen 7, and has irected episodes of the British series Agatha Christie’s Marple. Brubaker is probably best known for his work in cartoons and comics, but he recently moved into television as a supervising producer and writer on HBO’s Westworld.
