Paris-based Lincoln TV is set to reunite with the creative team behind “Mirage” on a period series about the turbulent life of Sylvia Kristel, the 1970’s sex symbol and star of th…
Titled “Sylvia,” the six-part series will be based on Kristel’s 2006 autobiography “Nue” , in which the late actress chronicles her rise and tragic downfall.
The project is currently being shopped to key French channels and Lincoln TV is aiming to partner up with a Flemish co-producer. Set mostly in France, the series will chart Sylvia’s journey with an emphasis on the decade during which she starred in “Emmanuelle” and explain “how her encounter in 1979 with a man who became her husband tragically led her on a downward path,” said de Bourbon-Busset, who added that the narrative arch will be built in a way similar to Judy Garland biopic “Judy.”
Lincoln TV will also look to give the show a well-polished look. “We’ll be aiming to recreate the glamour and sexiness of the ’70s and ’80s and we will also show some of the most iconic scenes of ‘Emmanuelle,”” said Missonnier. The classic erotic movie will available on Netflix from July 1.
