If you’ve seen Force Majeure, then you know how remarkable and thoughtful an Ostlund version of Passengers could have been.
That version is directed by Ruben Ostlund, the Swedish filmmaker behind the brilliant, darkly comedic relationship drama Force Majeure.
Lucky for us, the director has a new film hitting theaters this year: The Square, starring Elisabeth Moss and Dominic West.
Along the way, a handful of directors flirted with the idea of directing Passengers — including Ostlund, the director of the Golden Globe-nominated film Force Majeure.
