Francis Ford Coppolais the classic 1974 film The conversation is getting a remake of the series from the director JC Chandor. The director is behind films like Margin call, All is lost, a violent year, Triple Frontierand the imminent Kraven the Hunter. He will write and direct the series.
The original film starred Gene Hackmanbut the main role in this series is said to be played by a woman. Aubrey Square There are rumors for the role, but casting has not been finalized.
The conversation is a psychological thriller that revolves around Harry Caul (Hackman), a highly trained and secretive surveillance expert who specializes in recording private conversations for his clients. He is hired by a mysterious client, known only as “The Director”, to eavesdrop on and record a seemingly innocent conversation between a young couple, Mark and Ann, as they walk in a crowded park.
As Harry meticulously listens to the recorded conversation and pieces together the fragments, he becomes increasingly paranoid and troubled by the ethical implications of his work. He suspects that the information he has gathered could put Mark and Ann’s lives in danger. Harry’s growing moral dilemma, combined with his past traumas and isolation, send him into a spiral of crisis of conscience.
Over the course of the film, Harry tries to decipher the true meaning behind the conversation, and his obsession with uncovering the secrets hidden within ultimately leads to a gripping climax.
Coppola’s American Zoetrope will produce the series Erin Levy will serve as showrunner. She is known for her work on Mad Men AND Mind hunter. MRC is the studio behind the series and the company has optioned the television remake rights directly from the Coppola estate.
If you’ve never seen it The conversation, you have to watch it! It’s a fantastic movie! It doesn’t really need a series adaptation, but I can see why they would want to. I just doubt it will be as good as the original film. The only good thing that could come out of this remake series is that it will encourage people to watch the original film.
