Fred Cavayé Talks ‘The Fugitive’-Style ‘Les Misérables’ Adaptation As Studiocanal Launches Sales – Cannes Market
The literary costume drama marks a departure for Cavayé who broke out as a director with 2008 thriller Anything for Her( Pour Elle), starring Lindon as a man on a mission to free his wife ( Diane Kruger) from jail after she is arrested for murder, and he is convinced of her innocence. I realized it could be a way of getting back to things I want to do again in that there was scope to make a version of Les Misérables that could be close to The Fugitive[the 1993 film in which Harrison Ford plays a man who goes on the run after he is wrongly accused of killing his wife, with Tommy Lee Jones in hot pursuit as a US marshal]. DEADLINE:Les Misérables will follow in the wake of the big Dimitri-Rassam-produced French-language literary adaptations The Three Musketeers duology, directed by Martin Bourboulon as well as The Count of Monte-Cristo by Alexandre de La Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte.
