Conclave, l'adaptation (2024)

Citation :

“All Quiet on the Western Front” filmmaker Edward Berger has commenced principal photography in Rome, Italy on Vatican thriller “Conclave.”

Joining the already announced cast of Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini are Sergio Castellitto, Carlos Diehz, Lucian Msamati, Brían F. O’Byrne, Thomas Loibl, Merab Ninidze and Jacek Koman.

The film is based on Robert Harris’ bestselling novel of the same name that has been adapted for the screen by Peter Straughan, Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner for “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” (2011). It revolves around the Conclave, one of the world’s most secretive events. After the death of a beloved Pope, Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes) is tasked with running the covert process of finding a new Pope inside the back corners of the Vatican. Lawrence quickly finds himself the centre of a conspiracy, as the cardinals forge factions and rivalries to serve their own ambitions. As political machinations inside the Vatican intensify, Lawrence realizes that the departed Pope had kept a secret from them that he must uncover before a new Pope is chosen.

Le livre de Robert Harris a été adapté -un de plus!- et devrait sortir en 2024.

Je n'ai pas trop aimé le livre (il se lit comme un thriller mais la fin est décevante et ce n'est clairement pas le meilleur Robert Harris) mais je ne peux résister au charme de Ralph Fiennes donc je regarderais cette adaptation
