The great production designer Kalina Ivanov speaks to MovieWeb’s Archie Fenn about her work on the new Max series, The Penguin, and the challenge of creating a distinct Batman’s Gotham for the new series, starring Colin Farrell as the iconic Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. The Penguin premiered Sep. 19 on Max.
Ivanov discusses the creative process of designing the sets and selecting the locations; how the DC Comics visual language influenced these live action environments; how she developed the new visual design from the show’s script and the comic books; and the surprising influences Matt Reeves insisted on for the design, such as the classic ’70s thriller, The French Connection.
