shows, Ozark. The show is a favorite of numerous fans from all over the world.
Fans love the show because of the character detailing, cast acting, and the
setting. The story of the show revolves around a couple who move from Chicago to
the Lake of the Ozarks. The show has received wide recognition and awards. Along
with Jason Bateman and others, Laura Linney is also a big part of the show’s
success.


JASON BATEMAN SPEAKS ABOUT LAURA LINNEY’S SKILLS

Jimmy Kimmel recently moderated a lively conversation with the creative forces
behind Netflix’s Emmy-winning Drama series Ozark. The showrunner, EP and Writer
Chris Mundy [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/chris-mundy], EP, Director and Actor
Jason Bateman, Julia Garner [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/julia-garner], along
with the Editor, Production designer, Music supervisor, and Cinematographer,
joined the panel.



 

 

They talked about the music and one of the most iconic parts of the show,
settings, and the whole writing process. While talking about the music in the
11th episode of Ozark [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ozark] season 4, the Todd
Rundgren song, Jimmy asks Jason whether he had directed that scene. Bateman
replied, “No, no, Laura directed that episode. The first thing she’s ever
directed that 11th episode, like how incredible was that!” 


LAURA LINNEY DIDN’T WANT TO DIRECT THAT EPISODE!

It is true that Laura Linney [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/laura-linney] is an
amazing actor who has won several awards for her acting skills. This was one of
the many reasons the showrunners chose Laura to be a part of the show. Laura
agreed and admitted that she didn’t know why she went for the part of Wendy
Byrde [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/wendy-byrde]. It just felt like she should
and so she took that part. Well, we are so happy that she chose to be in the
show.

Jason Bateman [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jason-bateman] also favored Laura
and appealed to the showrunners to give her more work to do on the show other
than playing just the wife of Marty [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/marty-byrde].
The writers listened to him and created a more intense and layered character
than they had originally decided.

But, when we talk about Laura directing the episode, she admitted not wanting to
do it in the first place. Laura admits her manager threatened her to be fired if
she wouldn’t direct this episode. She says, “she was forced into directing,”
