ITV commissions six part emotionally driven drama, Deep Water
ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill, has announced commission of six-part relationship drama, Deep Water, to be produced by leading television production company, Kudos.
The female-led ensemble series, set in the Lake District, is written by Anna Symon (Indian Summers, The Wilsons) and adapted from the Windermere series of novels by critically acclaimed author, Paula Daly.
The series focuses on the lives of three women, living in and around the beautiful surroundings of Windermere. It’s a modern look at family and the pressures we put ourselves under as we juggle busy lives. In striving to do their best for their families the women are capable of making some controversial choices in an attempt to hold everything together and keep their heads above deep water.
The main characters are complex, vibrant women desperately juggling work and home life and coping with the issues raised by modern parenting.
Commented Polly Hill:
“Anna has cleverly woven together two of Paula’s brilliant novels, to create a wonderful modern and layered series. It’s about three very different women on their own incredible and often shocking journeys, whose lives connect at the school gates. It’s funny, sexy, truthful and often outrageous, and should have the audience asking what they would do to hold their own family together. I am delighted to be working with Kudos on this great new series for ITV.”
Karen Wilson (The Tunnel, Utopia, Hustle), Diederick Santer (Tin Star, Man in an Orange Shirt, Grantchester) and Anna Symon will executive produce the drama. Sue Swift, Head of Books and Adaptations acquired Paula Daly’s books for Kudos.
Commented Karen Wilson, Chief Creative Officer for Kudos and Executive Producer:
“We are thrilled to be working with Anna and ITV on bringing these wonderful books to life, and telling stories about modern women in an interesting and beautiful part of rural Britain.”
Deep Water will be filmed in the stunning Cumbrian countryside in the autumn of 2018.
Details of casting and key production personnel appointments will be advised before filming commences.
The series will be distributed internationally by Endemol Shine International.
据说这个片被大剪特剪，最后成片无论是尺度还是表达都有问题，但故事主旨还挺符合阿德里安.莱恩以往拍摄的不健康但上瘾的亲密关系，typical美国中产男人与外来女性的情感婚姻，爱家boring的丈夫与渴望更多激情的异域文化妻子，各自在对方身上想要的在引起妒忌和妒忌中最后靠杀掉其他男人来达成「你是爱我的」平衡。现在的年轻人根本对这种暗流深水的故事不感兴趣，毕竟婚姻关系暗藏同谋的故事派别已经落伍了，婚姻模...
在我的质问下，我的朋友终于承认他觉得自己浪费了两个小时看这个电影很亏，所以把它推荐给了我…
就说影史上很少有电影能在第一句台词就归纳总结了全片：What？Nothing.
心满意足，虽二十年未推出新作，但此次阿德里安·莱恩对美国社会两性关系与婚姻伦理的灰暗剖析，比起久远的前作《不忠》结尾停驻在信号灯下的十字路口不知何去何从的夫妻，此次他们在当下的代表选择了一个更加明确的结局——屈服于罪并将畸形的情感秘密进一步掩盖在更加舒适明亮的现代家庭建筑空间里，这并非《消失的爱人》似的奇情纸浆小说演绎，而是可能的普遍尴尬之处——一切看似向好却更加分裂和病态而无法挽回，或许这个时代...
单车追汽车，真是刺激…
