Eva Longoria Set to Star in TV Adaptation of THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS Based on Novel
Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) has signed on to star in the TV film adaptation of The House of the Spirits, based on the bestselling novel by Isabel Allende. Francisca Alegría is directing the adaptation from a script she co-wrote with Fernanda Urrejola.
Longoria will play Blanca Trueba, one of the passionate and courageous women who leads the family’s destiny across generations. “The House of the Spirits is a family saga that follows the extraordinary lives of three generations of women in the Trueba family. Set in a remote South American country, this timeless drama, with tints of Magical Realism, takes us on an epic journey of fortune, intrigue, love, and fate throughout the 20th century.”
Longoria said of the project:
“It’s truly an honor to bring one of Isabel Allende’s iconic works to the screen for audiences worldwide alongside FilmNation, Francisca, and Fernanda. This is a story rich in themes of family, love, and magic. I am excited to show the world the beauty, creativity, and masterclass talent that our community continues to produce.”
This sounds like an interesting project, and a great one for Longoria to attach herself to. Have you read the novel The House of the Spirits?
