China Court de Mike Newell, adapté du roman de Rumer Godden

Une adaptation du roman China Court de l'anglaise Rumer Godden (Le Narcisse noir) est en cours de préparation. C'est le réalisateur Mike Newell (Quatre mariages et un enterrement, HP et la coupe de feu, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society) qui sera aux manettes. Le tournage commence en août.

Citation :

Director Mike Newell (“Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”) has set an August shoot at U.K. locations for “China Court.”

The film will be directed by Newell from a script by Brian Kinsey, based on the 1961 novel “China Court: The Hours of a Country House” by Rumer Godden.

The film centers around a house, China Court, and the family that inhabits it. The film follows generations of the family over a century, up to the death of the matriarch in 1961. Characters move seamlessly in and out of each other’s timelines as they grow up, fall in love, fall out with each other and – always – pass on to those who follow them the consequences of their actions.

J'aimerais beaucoup découvrir le roman, disponible chez Virago en anglais.
