Johnny Depp scored chocolate will return as a French-language TV series from Miramax TV and Mediawan.
The television adaptation of the five-time Oscar-nominated film will be shot in French and set in a small town in modern-day France, with Mediawan-owned Atlantique Productions co-producing with Miramax. The film was released in 2000 and also starred Juliette Binoche and Judi Dench.
In the TV show, also adapted from the Joanne Harris novel, a wife and daughter come to rest and disturb the fragile social balance of the local community. Your biggest challenge will be to convince the people of the city to accept the changes they bring to the city as a breath of fresh air.
“The richly textured comic fable by Joanne Harris is a timeless and uplifting crowd pleaser,” said Marc Helwig, Miramax Global Head of Televivsion. “This is another fantastic project from our extensive IP and film library to leverage in our ongoing efforts to bring television content to a global audience. We have found the perfect partner in Mediawan to bring this truly international production to TV screens around the world.”
Helwig and vice president of television development Mirsada Abdool Raman will provide creative direction for Miramax, with Mediawan COO Elisabeth d’Arvieu and Atlantique’s chief director Nathalie Perus for Mediawan. Studio heads Bill Block and Pierre-Antoine Capton will also serve as executive producers.
