Jack Thorne on how he teamed with Damien Chazelle for 'The Eddy,' Netflix’s ambitious eight-part miniseries about a struggling Parisian jazz club.
short, why his fascination with urban planning drew him to the show and his love of working in multiple genres.It was a fair whack of time ago. Alan Poul, who’s sort of the person behind it all, got a treatment from Glen Ballard — who’s the amazing Grammy-winning musical mind behind it and has written all the songs — about doing a TV show about this band.
There’s been plenty onscreen about the expat lifestyle in Paris, filtered through romance and myth. Is this an update, or something a little more socially realistic? The thing that really interested Damien was 1960s new wave. That’s what we were thinking about all the time, but it had to be contemporary. My dad was a town planner, and I’ve always been fascinated by urban planning, and the ring road in Paris is very interesting, the way that it excludes on financial and racial grounds a lot of Parisians. There’s sort of an inner circle of wealth. It’s not as hard line as this, but I’ve noticed it with London and it’s certainly true in New York.
