CHANNEL 4 REBOOT
OF A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE TV SERIES
The original series from the 80s became their most watched drama ever and now Channel 4 is looking to start a production on the reboot of A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE sometime next year based on Barbara Taylor Bradford's novel. In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant
girl, acquired a shrewd determination. There, she honed her skills, discovered the meaning of treachery, learned to survive, to become a woman, and vowed to make her mark on the world. In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve save for the dream of love, and for the passion of the one man she could never have. Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma's unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.
The production should start next summer |
Well, being an able woman isn't easy, I bet. Now I am curious who will be in the cast...
ReplyDeleteWe will know somewhere towards the middle of the next year when the shooting is supposed to begin.
DeleteI'm curious about the cast too. If it works, they may reboot other miniseries of the time that touched similar sagas, like Howard Fast The Inmigrants and Belva Plain's Evergreen
ReplyDeleteUnless they ruin this one with casting, but it is Channel 4 not BBC so maybe they will not.
