Howard Zinn once wrote You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train, and we are seeing that play out literally in this trailer for Season 2 of Snowpiercer. Enigmatic conductor Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) and revolutionary detective Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) each share their perspectives from the opposite sides of the train, which are also the opposite sides of the social order... but in this clip, they go head to head. Melanie Cavll (Jennifer Connelly) is caught in the middle.
First, there was the 1982 French graphic novel series from Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette. Then, there was the 2013 Korean film from Bong Joon-ho. Now, we have the TNT show set in a frozen world where the remnants of humanity live, love, and die on a train that never stops. However, this compressed version of human society still suffers from class struggles and social injustice.
The second season of Snowpiercer premieres January 25 on TNT.
Andy Hunsaker has a head full of sitcom gags and nerd-genre lore, and can be followed @AndyHunsaker if you're into that sort of thing.
