Studiocanal Launches Literary Adaptations Label & Promotes SVP Sarah Reese Geffroy To Run It – Updated

Canal+-owned Studiocanal has launched Studiocanal Stories, label dedicated to literary adaptations.

Studiocanal is no stranger to the adaptations business, of course, with two upcoming Cannes Official Competition selections — Gilles Lellouche’s Beating Hearts and Michel Hazanavicius’ The Most Precious of Cargoes both based on literature. Further back it has adapted several major literary IPs as series, including the BBC series War of the Worlds and Ridley Road, Harlan Coben novel The Stranger and films including Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy and A Boy Called Christmas. Most notably, the development Paddington film franchise can be traced back to books on the iconic bear character.
