@DebHarkness @AllSoulsCon @thatvickypalmer @Stantonmedia how lucky these people r to be able to have a part in bringing AST to life!

Hier geht was voran- ich bin immer noch gespannt, wer denn nun Matthew wird: https://twitter.com/DebHarkness/status/ ... 1418185728

Oja, das bin ich auch. Aber sowas von . Natürlich, Richard wäre für mich (für uns) der Matthew schlechthin. Aber ich bin generell schon froh, dass es langsam (ganz langsam) vorran geht bzgl. Verfilmung

Und besonders, wenn er so wie Harry in Deinem Sig grinst und aussieht.

Save for later
The BBC is to make a six-part adaptation of Les Misérables with the team behind War and Peace, including producer Harvey Weinstein and screenwriter Andrew Davies.

The new six-hour drama will be based on the 19th century classic novel by Victor Hugo, rather than the award-winning musical, and will air on BBC1.

Weinstein described Les Misérables as “one of the greatest novels of all time” with “contemporary relevance to what’s going on in the world today.”

Davies, who adapted the original version of House of Cards for BBC1 and was an executive producer on its Netflix remake, said: “Les Misérables is a huge iconic title. Most of us are familiar with the musical version which only offers a fragmentary outline of its story.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity of doing real justice to Victor Hugo at last by adapting his masterpiece in a six-hour version for the BBC, with the same team who made War and Peace.”

Announcing the new adaptation on Thursday, the BBC said the story of former convict Jean Valjean and police officer Javert’s cat-and-mouse relationship, against the epic backdrop of France at a time of civil unrest, had a “striking intensity and relevance to us today”.

Charlotte Moore, director of BBC content, said: “Andrew Davies’ extraordinary skill for adaptation will bring the world famous Les Misérables into powerful focus for a modern audience with a multi-layered re-telling of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece.

“BBC1 viewers can expect the same quality and scale from the team behind War and Peace in this epic tale of redemption and the healing power of love.”

The series will be made by BBC Studios and independent producer Lookout Point, in association with Weinstein Television.

The three partners previously worked together on Davies’ adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, which aired on BBC1 earlier this year.

Weinstein said: “Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is one of the greatest novels of all time – and while the musical is one of my favorites this will be completely different.

“An intense and serious drama that will find contemporary relevance to what’s going on in the world today. I’m thrilled to be reunited with Faith Penhale and Simon Vaughan, my partners from War and Peace, with Charlotte Moore from the BBC, and of course, with Andrew Davies who wrote War and Peace.

“I think the BBC and Weinstein Television collaboration are a new paradigm in the telling of classics – they’re modern and yet respectful. And, with the exception of James Bond, nobody does it better than Andrew Davies.”

BBC Worldwide will distribute the series with Weinstein Television distributing in the US and China.

BTW- wenn sie schon fragen, wer auf der Castliste sein soll .
Wer vielleicht nicht schlecht, wenn die Twitterfollower anstelle von Himself mal die BBC anschreiben :

Na solange dieses Machwerk besser wird als die letzte Verfilmung...
Ich dachte mir bei Hugh Jackman und Co. kann ich nix falschmachen (hatte mich bis dahin noch nicht mit Les Miserables beschäftigt). Am Ende war's jedoch ne ganz schöne Quälerei durch Story und Gesang.

Durch die rosarote Brille wird viel erträglich. Auch in anderer Inszenierung für blöd befundene Stories zum Beispiel.
Über fehlenden Gesang bin ich auch nicht traurig.

Oja, das bin ich auch. Aber sowas von . Natürlich, Richard wäre für mich (für uns) der Matthew schlechthin. Aber ich bin generell schon froh, dass es langsam (ganz langsam) vorran geht bzgl. Verfilmung
