Extrapolations: Diane Lane & Michael Gandolfini on Making a Series About Climate Change
10In creator Scott Z. Burns’ (Contagion) new Apple TV+ series, Extrapolations, the consequences of climate change are beginning to affect society in ways humans can no longer ignore. Broken down into eight episodes, the material is presented with an ensemble cast in independent, interconnected stories that deal with climate change repercussions in the near future. Ahead of its release, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with two of the stars, Diane Lane (Under the Tuscan Sun) and Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark), about their involvement with the show and what it was like working with Burns.
Beginning in the year 2037, Extrapolations imagines the effects of global warming with what Gandolfini says blends “an incredibly delicate balance” between science and “a sensibility for human beings,” that still manages to incorporate humor. Starring Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep, Forest Whitaker, and Marion Cotillard, as well as Tobey Maguire, Edward Norton, Gemma Chan, and many others, we get a very realistic depiction of what Earth could look like in our lifetime if we don't take the necessary steps to reverse these natural consequences.
During our exclusive interview, Lane and Gandolfini discuss which episodes and scenes resonated with them, why they joined the project, and share behind-the-scenes details that still wow even Gandolfini. During the interview, which you can watch in the video above or read below, the duo also update us on their upcoming projects, with Lane reprising her voice-over role in Disney’s Inside Out 2 and Gandolfini joining the MCU in Daredevil: Born Again.
