★ Variety ★ Canal Plus Orders TV Adaptation of ‘Vernon Subutex’ With Romain Duris
By Elsa Keslassy for Variety
“French star Romain Duris is set to topline the TV adaptation of “Vernon Subutex,” Virginie Despentes’ bestselling novel. Canal Plus, the French pay-TV channel behind “The Returned,” has commissioned the series…
The novel “Vernon Subutex” has been lauded by critics for its richly layered, dark-humored and crystalline depiction of contemporary French society. The TV adaptation will place a large emphasis on the dark comedy and irreverent tone of the book, in the vein of “Californication.” As a vibrant, colorful backdrop, Paris will also likely have a big role in the show. ”
