Fresh off her “Happening” winning the Golden Lion at Venice, filmmaker Audrey Diwan has set her sights on remaking softcore porn classic “Emmanuelle” with Léa Seydoux. I’ll watch it for the plot, obviously. After all, the screenplay is said to be co-written by Diwan and fellow filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski (“An Easy Girl”). The source material is based on Emmanuelle Arsan’s 1967 novel. This will surely be NC-17. The novel has already been adapted into a film, many sequels and an infamous TV series titled “Emmanuelle in Space.” No word yet on whether Seydoux will be donning a space suit for Diwan’s adaptation. In all seriousness, we can probably expect a feminist take on Arsan’s erotic novel, especially with all the artists involved in this latest adaptation. Contribute Hire me
