'Dangerous Liaisons' to be adapted for TV by BBC
Dangerous Liaisons is to be adapted for a new TV series.
Choderlos de Laclos's classic 18th-century novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses will be written as a drama serial by Christopher Hampton, according to Deadline.
Hampton previously adapted the book as a stage play, earning him a Tony Award nomination.
He later turned his play into an Oscar-winning 1988 movie starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich.
Hampton has joined up with producers Tony Krantz and Colin Callender for a drama series for the BBC. The project is later expected to be sold to Us networks.
The screenwriter will reportedly not use elements from his previous adaptations, and will also incorporate characters from other novels from the 18th-century French libertine literary movement the original novel was part of.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses centred around the twisted games played by ex-lovers and rivals Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, who use sex in order to humiliate others.
