SUSPIRIA Being Adapted into a TV Series
The classic 1977 psychedelic Italian horror film Suspiria will be adapted into a TV series. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you really need to check it out. It one of my favorite horror films. The tone and vibe are awesome, and it has such a nightmarishly dark story.
The movie was inspired by the Thomas De Quincey book called Suspiria De Profundis, and that will be the name of the series. The director of the original film, Dario Argento, will serve as an artist supervisor on the show.
The news comes from Screen Daily, which says that it will be a English-language period horror drama in which the author of the book is the lead character. The show will be “styled as a new Sherlock Holmes, the story will explore psychological fantasies of evil and attempt to solve fearful mysteries. It will be set in London and Rome at the turn of the 20th century.”
Argento said in a statement,
“The extraordinary freedom of expression and creativity that modern TV drama now offers and the interest that the public has shown towards it have encouraged me to take a stab at this new genre.”
This could be a really cool and insane series! I hope it turns out well!
