A TV series based on the novel written by Gaston Leroux, which inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical The Phantom Of The Opera is in development. Celebrated French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet will make his TV directorial debut on the project, which is set in Paris, France in 1919.
He states, “We have an opportunity to re-tell Gaston Leroux’s classic novel of mystery and intriguing romance against a background of great social change.”
The TV drama will focus on a badly-burned British World War One fighter pilot, who is at the centre of a murder investigation linked to world leaders gathered in Paris for a peace conference.
