The project will shoot in Germany and Prague

TV broadcaster RTL are planning an elaborate film and six part series adaptation of HAGEN von Tronje novel by Wolfgang Hohlbein which combines the Nibelung saga with elements from other myths following Hagen von Tronje, the dark warrior of the Nibelung saga, now a lonely hero, and the radiant Siegfried, now an unscrupulous upstart, a representative of an authoritarian form of government, supported by a new religion, Christianity. Martin Moszkowicz and Oliver Berben are the executive producers.

SEE THE BRAND NEW IMAGES

After the first, not overly promising trailer last week, Starz has unveiled today new images via Radio Times from their eight part TV series version of

The series arrives this November

DANGEROUS LIAISONS which willarrive November 6th starring Alice Englert, Nicholas Denton, Lesley Manville, and Tom Wlaschiha. New images reveal more of Lesley Manville and British singer Paloma Faith, who plays Florence de Regnier!

 

  THE NEW SERIES  

is a bold prelude of Laclos’ classic 18th century novel focusing on the origin story of how his iconic characters, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, met as passionate young lovers in Paris on the eve of the revolution. This modern take on a classic story takes audiences through wonder and terror, beauty and degradation, seduction and deception in pre-revolutionary Paris. Driven to right the wrongs of their past, the young couple’s survival depends on their skills of seduction and manipulation of not only the French nobility but of each other. Alice Englert and Nicholas Denton portray the notorious lovers: Camille who is taken in by the current Marquise de Merteuil (Lesley Manville) navigates her own path in a world of men, using the power of secrets to take back control, and Valmont who will stop at nothing to regain his title that was recently taken from him. Their on- again off-again love story is the heart of the series. It’s not love… it’s war. I must admit those two youngsters look terribly dull and miscast to me, no passion nor talent in them.

A NEW VERSION OF NIBELUNG SAGA IN THE CONSTANTIN FILM'S TV SERIES ADAPTATION OF FAMOUS EPIC FANTASY NOVEL HAGEN OF TRONJE!

    'HAGEN OF TRONJE'

TO BECOME EPIC TV SERIES

We've seen  a lot of international English language epic series produced by France, Italy, Russia in recent years, and now Germany is joining them as their Constantin Film will make an epic movie and a six part TV series

Cyrill Boss and Philipp Stennert are set to direct

(produced by David Wnendt) based on Wolfgang Hohlbein's popular 1986 novel HAGEN OF TRONJE (Hagen von Tronje), a Nibelung saga adventure filled with dragons, dwarfs and magic which served as an inspiration even for J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

Hagen From Tronje follows Hagen, a lonely, dark hero, and famous mythical hero Siegfried von Xanten, most radiant of them all, dragon slayer and ruler of the Nibelungen. But Hohlbein's novel turns upside down the well known constellation of the Nibelungen saga, in which Siegfried is the dazzling hero and Hagen is a traitor who uncovers the secret of Siegfried's only physical vulnerability and ends up murdering him insidiously! Here Hagen is a lonely hero, the last Viking to be closely related to the old gods, while Siegfried is an unscrupulous upstart. These new versions of them fight in the novel for power and love.
