Teaser Trailer for Alicia Vikander's HBO Limited Series Remake of IRMA VEP
A teaser trailer has been released for the HBO limited series remake of Olivier Assayas’ film Irma Vep. The series adaptation stars Alicia Vikander in the starring role, and Assayas is back to write and direct. In the series, “Vikander plays Mira, an American film star fresh out of a relationship and disillusioned by her career. She comes to France to play the role of Irma Vep — an anagram for ‘vampire‘ — in a remake of the French silent film ‘Les Vampires.’ As she takes on the role, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur, and Mira struggles to grasp the world around her.”
The series also stars Vincent Macaigne as the film-within-the-film’s director, René Vidal; Jeanne Balibar plays Zoe, Mira’s ex-assistant and ex-girlfriend; Devon Ross is Mira’s current assistant Regina; Carrie Brownstein plays Mira’s agent Zelda, who is uninterested in the “Les Vampires” project; Fala Chen is Cynthia Keng, Mira’s co-star. Additional cast includes Lars Eidinger, Vincent Lacoste, Nora Hamzawi, Adria Arjona, Byron Bowers, Hippolyte Girardot, Alex Descas and Antoine Reinartz. Tom Sturridge plays Eamonn, Mira’s ex-boyfriend. Previously, Jerrod Carmichael was attached to play the role, but was replaced by Sturridge due to scheduling conflicts.
Check out the trailer for Irma Vep below, and watch the limited series when it premieres on HBO and HBO Max on June 6th.
