‘Gulliver’s Travels’ Set for ‘Fun’ TV Series Adaptation With ‘Full Monty’ Producer Uberto Pasolini as Showrunner (EXCLUSIVE)
'Gulliver's Travels' has been set for a new TV series adaptation with Uberto Pasolini ("The Full Monty") as showrunner.
Oscar-nominated multi-hyphenate Uberto Pasolini – who produced “The Full Monty” and most recently directed “The Return,” starring Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus – has embarked on a TV series adaptation of Jonathan Swift’s classic satirical adventure “Gulliver’s Travels.” “I don’t think there’s a big risk in there being two [“Gulliver’s Travels”] projects on the market, especially since they are doing a contemporary adaptation,” said Jan Wünschmann, who heads Intaglio Films, which is a joint venture between Beta and ZDF Studios. Roberto Sessa, who heads Fremantle-owned Picomedia – which has a close rapport with Beta – noted that they are looking to mount the show as a “potential European co-production,” but also “have our eyes set on the U.S.” in terms of prospective partners.
