MGM/UA Television is developing limited series Dial M For Murder, based on the 1952 play of the same name by Frederick Knott, which was adapted into the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock movie.
Oscar winner Alicia Vikander is executive producing through her Vikarious Film banner with an eye to potentially star in the series, which reimagines the classic suspense thriller story from the female perspective. In Hitchcock’s film, the role was played by Grace Kelly.
Michael Mitnick (The Giver) is creating and writing the series with Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter overseeing. Mitnick is a playwright-screenwriter whose sole previous TV series writing credit was on HBO’s Vinyl, co-created and executive produced by Winter.
Winter executive produces alongside Vikander and Charles Collier via Vikarious Film. Andrew Mittman of 1.21, who has a deal at MGM/UA TV, and Lloyd Braun will also serve as executive producers.
Dial M For Murder is being developed as an anthology series with potential follow-up installments in the suspense thriller genre from a similarly female point of view.
The original Dial M For Murder centers on a retired tennis champion (played in the movie by Ray Milland, who discovers that his wife (Kelly) has had an affair and hires an acquaintance to murder her. When the plan backfires and the wife kills her assassin, her husband frames her for the man’s murder, with his elaborate plot only uncovered with the help of his wife’s lover hours before she was to be executed after being sentenced to death.
Like Kelly, Vikander is an Oscar winner; she landed the award for The Danish Girl. Additionally, Vikander has earned two Golden Globe nominations to date, for Danish Girl and Ex Machina. She also is known for playing Lara Croft in the recent Tomb Raider reboot. [Source]

Filmmaker and actor Justin Chon’s Blue Bayou is getting a high-profile 2021 summer release in theaters, Focus Features announced Friday.
The drama, a timely story about an American family fighting for their future as the father faces deportation, will hit the big screen in the U.S. on June 25.
In addition to writing and directing, Chon also stars in Blue Bayou. He plays Antonio LeBlanc, a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou who is married to the love of his life, Kathy (Alicia Vikander), and stepfather to their daughter.
Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.
Chon — also a YouTube personality — previously helmed the films Gook and Ms. Purple, both of which won multiple festival awards.
Mark O’Brien, Linh Dan Pham and Emory Cohen co-star in Blue Bayou. Producers are Chon, Charles D. King, Kim Poth and Poppy Hanks.
Focus acquired rights to the drama earlier this year out of the Cannes virtual film market. [Source]

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen Netflix not only become a major player in terms of original content, but also with buying the distribution rights to films that have already been produced. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen Netflix amp up its purchasing with a ton of new projects, including a film we’ve been looking forward to for well over a year, “Born to Be Murdered.”
According to THR, Netflix has purchased the distribution rights to “Born to Be Murdered,” a thriller that stars John David Washington, Alicia Vikander, and Vicky Krieps. Even though that’s a great cast, the most exciting part of the film might actually be the fact that Ferdinando Cito Filomarino is making his English-language debut with the film. Filomarino is probably best known for being the second-unit director for Luca Guadagnino on films such as “Call Me By Your Name” and “Suspiria.” And yes, Guadagnino is a producer on “Born to Be Murdered.” The thriller features a couple (Washington and Vikander) that are on vacation in Greece and find themselves caught up in a violent, deadly conspiracy.
“Born to Be Murdered” marks the second big Netflix acquisition starring Washington in recent months. Prior to this, the streaming service paid top dollar for a new black and white drama, “Malcolm & Marie,” starring Washington opposite Zendaya, directed by “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson. In addition, 2020 has also seen the release of the actor’s most recent film, “Tenet,” which finds Washington in the lead role in Christopher Nolan’s time-bending action feature.
Vikander and Krieps are both incredible actresses with acclaim to spare. Vikander is probably best known for her Oscar-winning work in “The Danish Girl,” but she’s also starred in a number of high-profile features such as “Ex Machina” and “Tomb Raider.” Krieps wowed audiences with her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s most recent film, “Phantom Thread.”
It’s unclear when “Born to Be Murdered” will arrive on the streaming platform but THR believes it will be in 2021. [Source]
