A limited series adaptation of TheConstantGardener, a best-selling thriller by John le Carré, is in the works.
John le Carré's political thriller novel The Constant Gardener is getting a new miniseries adaptation. It was previously adapted into an acclaimed 2005 film starring Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes.
Deadline reports that Lydia Adetunji will pen the adaptation for The Ink Factory, which does not currently have a cast or broadcaster attached to the project. The novel, one of le Carré's most popular, follows British diplomat and gardener Justin Quayle, as he attempts to solve and avenge the murder of his activist wife, Tessa, in Kenya; he eventually traces the conspiracy behind her death to a massive pharmaceutical corporation and their unethical experiments.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ink Factory co-CEOs Simon Cornwell and Stephen Cornwell say "It’s thrilling to be reinterpreting The Constant Gardener in a contemporary, post-pandemic context, and to be rooting the story in an authentic, modern Kenya with all of its richness, politics and energy.
Directed by Fernando Meirelles, 2005's The Constant Gardener featured Fiennes as Justin and Weisz as Tessa, and also starred Danny Huston, Bill Nighy, Archie Panjabi, and Pete Postlethwaite. It was a success both financially, grossing over $82 million at the box office, and critically, landing on a number of best-of-the-year lists, including Roger Ebert's. It was also nominated for four Oscars and won one; Best Actress, for Weisz.
Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and check out the trailer for the 2005 Constant Gardener adaptation below.
