HBO Orders New Limited Series, IRMA VEP, Starring Alicia Vikander

HBO has ordered a new limited series from A24 titled, IRMA VEP. This new series will star Alicia Vikander and will be written and directed by Olivier Assayas.

“IRMA VEP will revolve around “Mira” (Vikander) an American movie star disillusioned by her career and a recent breakup, who comes to France to star as “Irma Vep” in a remake of the French silent film classic, “Les Vampires.” Set against the backdrop of a lurid crime thriller, Mira struggles as the distinctions between herself and the character she plays begin to blur and merge. IRMA VEP reveals to us the uncertain ground that lies at the border of fiction and reality, artifice and authenticity, art and life.”

Production is scheduled to begin early next year and will premiere on HBO.
