HBO has ordered a limited series based on Olivier Assayas’ 1996 feature film Irma Vep, with Alicia Vikander on board to star and exec produce.
Vikander, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress for The Danish Girl, will play Mira, an American movie star disillusioned by her career and a recent breakup, who moves to France to star as Irma Vep in a remake of the French silent film classic Les Vampires.
The series, loosely based on the film, will be written and directed by Assayas, who revealed he was working on the adaptation back in May. It will be produced by the team behind HBO’s Euphoria: A24, Sam Levinson and Kevin Turen.
Feature film Irma Vep starred Maggie Cheung as herself and Jean-Pierre Leaud as the middle-aged French film director. It screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
The series, which is set against the backdrop of a lurid crime thriller, follows Vikander’s Mira who struggles as the distinctions between herself and the character she plays begin to blur and merge. It is exec produced by Assayas, Vikander, Sylvie Barthet, Levinson, Ashley Levinson, Turen through Little Lamb, and Stuart Manashil.
Irma Vep is the latest limited series that has the Ex Machina star Vikander attached. She is also developing a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder with MGM/UA Television.
