Miles Teller Cast in Nicolas Winding Refn's Amazon Series TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG
Whiplash and Fantastic Four star Miles Teller is set to star in Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn's Amazon series Too Old to Die Young. Refn will direct all ten episodes of the series, which explores a hidden world of assassins.
The series is in "a similar vein to Refn’s Pusher trilogy, which looked at Danish criminals caught up in the drug trade. It explores various characters’ existential journeys from being killers to becoming samurai’s in the city of angels."
According to THR, Teller will play a character named Martin, "a police officer entangled in the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles." The site goes on to offer the following new story details:
Die Young tells of a grieving police officer who, along with the man who shot his partner, finds himself in an underworld filled with working-class hit men, Yakuza soldiers, cartel assassins sent from Mexico, Russian mafia captains and gangs of teen killers. Amazon, which made the casting announcement on Monday, says the series will follow "killers’ existential journeys in becoming samurai."
This seems like a solid project for Teller to be a part of, and with Refn at the helm, we know for a fact it's gonna be an interesting series.
