The french star Léa Seydoux will star in Emmanuelle, a movie by director Audrey Diwan inspired by Emmanuelle Arsan’s novel and based on a script co-developed by Diwan and Rebecca Zlotowski.
Adaptation rights for Arsan’s book were acquired by Chantelouve (Marion Delord and Reginald de Guillebon), who are producers on the project, according to Deadline.
The character of Emmanuelle was the star of many erotic movies in the 70’s played by the actress Sylvia Krystel.
She blew up with Blue Is the Warmest Colour though I suspect it was Adèle Exarchopoulos most of us watched it for and wanted to see more of.
