It now appears that his TV series “Too Old to Die Young” is moving to the front of the line, as “Whiplash” star Miles Teller has just been cast in the upcoming Amazon show.
Teller is set to play a grieving Los Angeles police officer navigating an underworld filled with contract assassins representing the Yakuza,
Mexican cartels, Russian mob and roving adolescents, among others.
The series will follow “killers’ existential journeys in becoming samurai,” because this is Nicolas Winding Refn we’re talking about here and what else would his TV show be about if not existential samurai?
