Andy Serkis’ to Make Biopic Series on Wax Museum Founder Madame Tussaud
'What We Do in the Shadows' Showrunners Reveal How They Blend Comedy and Horror in the Emmy-Nominated Sitcomis pitched as the untold story of Tussaud, a French artist known for her wax sculptures who honed her craft during the age of enlightenment and the French Revolution and escaped to England during the French Reign of Terror, founding her now-legendary wax museum in London in 1835.
The series will trace her rise from 18th century Paris and portray Tussauds as an “extraordinarily pioneering businesswoman built her business from scratch” along the way sacrificing “relationships with nearly everyone close to her , exchanging love for her legacy.” “This is no straight-up period drama, it is a hilariously crazy, no holds barred, anarchic, punk caper conjured from the curiously twisted mind of a fabulously post-truth executioner’s daughter!” Serkis said in a statement.
Newen Connect CEO Rodolphe Buet said the series would depict a “visionary heroine who shook up conventions in the 18th century and whose journey as a strong independent woman managing to build an empire resonates particularly nowadays.” He noted the deal with Imaginarium anchors Newen’s strategy of “support producers in the development and research of financing for ambitious co-production projects.
