THE PLAGUE TV ADAPTATION

We are still at MipTV at Cannes, today with the news that  France’s Oble is offering to the international buyers, a four part series THE PLAGUE, a modern adaptation of Albert Camus’ novel! Although the story in the book is set in the 1940s, the miniseries is set in 2029 in a society still recovering from the waves of COVID epidemics and that is now facing a much deadlier plague. Hugo Becker will lead the cast with Frederic Pierrot and Sofia Essaidi and the shooting starts today in France.

   THE YOUNG POE  

ENGLISH SERIES FROM SPAIN

Earlier this weekend I told you that Spanish production house Mediapro, who previously did The Head series and sold it to more than 90 countries

The series is for the adult audience not kids

around the world, is preparing THE YOUNG POE English language series with an international cast. Based on Cuca Canals novels, it imagines Poe as a precocious, irrepressible, neurotic and highly Gothic 11 or 12 year-old in 1820 Boston, grounding in true events of Poe’s childhood the extraordinarily analytical and morbid mind which Edgar Allen Poe brings to his fiction! In the series, the young Poe sparks the interest of the local police through his precocious capacity to solve murder mysteries. He ends up becoming a faithful assistant to Boston’s Inspector Auguste Dupin, a kindred soul.

 ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE 

NETFLIX SERIES TRAILER

It will not stream before November 2nd, but Netflix has released first trailer for their new World War II set series ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE based on the beloved bestseller. Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti and Nell Sutton), a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc (Mark Ruffalo), flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle (Hugh Laurie) who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner (Louis Hofmann), a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
