FIFTH SEASON'S NEW SHOWS
THE GRAPES OF WRATH
|
Grapes of Wrath will become a TV series
|
Fifth Season is preparing two new TV shows, one of them is the adaptation of
John Steinbeck novel
THE GRAPES OF WRATH which is set during the Great Depression and follows a poor family of farmers driven out of their home in Oklahoma and set out for California. Although it will be period set, it might have more contemporary music.
Ramin Bahrani is writing and directing, but not before 2024. I already told you before that the same company is preparing a series adaptation of Stenibeck's
EAST OF EDEN too with
Florence Poo over at Netflix.
LOVE OF MY LIFEAmy
Adams will lead the other project, a TV series adaptation of
Rosie Walsh’s
New York Times best-selling book
LOVE OF MY LIFE which tells the story
of marine biologist Emma, whose obituary writer husband Leo researches
everything about his wife’s life, which is a lie, when she suffers a
serious illness.
Grapes of Wrath= Yes, absolutelly yes. Do you watch "of mice and men" film?
ReplyDeleteI think I have when I was a child.
DeleteI might read the book first...
ReplyDeleteYou must.
DeleteThose Steinbeck novels are sooo depressing.
ReplyDeleteKinda like most American writers of that era, it was a nightmare reading them all at college.
DeleteTrue, Faulkner was a better writer but not that uplifting. Papa Hem managed to get a depressing story in three-word sentences, and loving Scott Fitzgerald as much as I do, I have to face the fact that his novels drip Celtic melancholy. You know whom I love from that Lost Generation? He is underrated although he won a Pulitzer, Louis Bromfield
DeleteHave not heard of him, the only one I found even remotely readable was Dreiser.
DeleteHaven’t heard of the book, but I’ll be reading it first too. Amy sure is playing some crazy lady characters lately. A far step away from her character in enchanted.
ReplyDeleteI feel she is always playing the same thing.
DeleteI thought the same thing. I loved her in Enchanted, but I feel like she typecast herself trying to get away from the good girl vibe by taking on the same roles of a mentally disturbed woman.
DeleteExactly, she is always some suffering woman, always some drama, never anything fun or different.
