'Suspiria' New Series News: Classic Horror Film Tapped for TV Adaptation
Recent news tells us that the classic Italian horror film, 'Suspiria,' will be adapted into a TV series for an English speaking audience. For those that may not know, the movie was inspired from the book, 'Suspiria De Profundis,' by Thomas De Quincey.
"Suspiria De Profundis will be an English-language period horror series in which the author De Quincey is the lead character. Styled as a new Sherlock Holmes, the story will explore psychological fantasies of evil and attempt to solve fearful mysteries. It will be set in London and Rome at the turn of the 20th century," writes Screen Daily.
The series will be led and supervised by the movie's original director, Dario Argento.
In a statement, Argento said, "The extraordinary freedom of expression and creativity that modern TV drama now offers and the interest that the public has shown towards it have encouraged me to take a stab at this new genre."
On that note, the series doesn't yet have a release date or any actors officially attached.
