hasn’t had a grilled cheese sandwich since filming the premiere episode of TNT’s “Snowpiercer.” And for good reason: he had to eat 10 of them, along with an equal number of bowls of tomato soup, for one pivotal scene.
Said scene depicts Andre Layton indulging in the delicious perks of being in a middle car of the Snowpiercer, a 1,001-car-long train carrying the last of humanity on an unending loop around the world after Earth becomes a frozen wasteland. The show is a spiritual successor to the 2013 film of the same name directed by Bong Joon Ho, who adapted it from French graphic novel “Le Transperceneige.”
Layton, a former Chicago homicide detective, is called up towards the latter to help solve a murder. There, he encounters the train’s Head of Hospitality Melanie Cavill who, by episode’s end, is revealed to also be the mysterious Mr. Wilford, the mastermind behind the Snowpiercer train.
