Gerard Butler’s ‘Has Fallen’ Film Franchise Gets an Event TV Series Makeover in Studiocanal’s ‘Paris Has Fallen’
Studiocanal’s Anne Chérel, Urban Myth Films’ Johnny Capps talk transforming the ‘Has Fallen’ film franchise into a big eight-part series.
Like other major LTVS plays, it takes a mainstream genre – such as, elsewhere, the historical drama (“Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light”), true crime (“A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story”) and the bio (“So Long, Marianne”) – and aims to elevate them to another level. “Maintaining the energy and intensity of an action thriller is a unique and a great challenge to have as programme makers,” agrees Urban Myth’s Johnny Caps tells Variety. In “Paris Has Fallen,” Tewfik Jallab (“Spiral,” “Dark Hearts”) plays Vincent Taleb, a member of a security deal guarding a high-ranking politician, like Butler’s Banning in the film series.
