Bergman-klassikeren Trolösa bliver til en 6 episoders tv-serie på svenske SVT, der laver serien i et samarbejde med Miso Film.

Det bliver den svenske instruktør Tomas Alfredson der vil stå som instrultør for alle 6 epsioder, mens norske Sara Johnsen står får manuskriptet.

Trolösa bliver på 6 episoder af 45 minutter og historien som udforsker forholdet mellem lidenskab og kærlighed.

David forelsker sig i sin bedste ven Marks kone, den smukke Marianne. David og Mariannes kærlighedsforhold har smertefulde konsekvenser for to familier. Karaktererne er drevet af begær, jalousi, forræderi og kærlighed.

Miso Film står bag forfatter og instruktør Tobias Lindholms internationalt roste serie Efterforskningen, Skandinaviens første originale Netflix-serie The Rain, krimiserien Den som Dræber og Dicte, samt Christopher Boes roste serier Kriger og Forhøret og Ole Bornedals 1864 og Skyggen i mit øje.

Her nogle reaktioner på nyheden fra den engelske pressemeddelelse:

“To bring together two such strong creatives as Sara Johnsen and Tomas Alfredson, with a unique and at the same time timeless text by Ingmar Bergman is extremely exciting. It is also an example of the ambitious projects like us at SVT Drama, and Public Service in general, will need to protect in the future”, said Anna Croneman, Head of Drama at SVT.

Director, Tomas Alfredson added, “Sometime during the winter of 2001, I contacted Ingmar Bergman and asked if I could reinterpret his story. Initially he said it sounded like “a drunken idea”. But the longer we talked about it, he thought it sounded both “terribly exciting” and “really sh*tty”. Tomas continued, “Now it is finally time to make a television series of Ingmar Bergman’s shocking love triangle drama. I have a hard time seeing that I have ever faced a bigger task and promise that I will lift my hat for what has been and roll up my sleeves for what will be.”

Screenwriter, Sara Johnsen said, “It is inspiring to develop, marvel at and expand Bergman’s text, which through complex characters is possessed by forces greater than themselves. Collaborating with Tomas Alfredson makes writing a party and it feels like we’re making the best character-driven TV drama of all time.”

Peter Bose, CEO and producer, Miso Film commented: “I clearly remember Liv Ullmann’s adaption of Ingmar Bergman’s Faithless, who made a great impression when I saw the film at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. Faithless is an eternally valid story about love and jealousy, and not least the feelings that are aroused when you fall in love. With Tomas Alfredson’s and Sara Johnsen’s intensive reinterpretation of Faithless, it is as relevant today as when Bergman wrote his original text. Jonas Allen, René Ezra, and I look forward to producing the TV series together with SVT and Anna Croneman, with whom we most recently collaborated with on the Danish series The Investigation.”
