Old Boy's Park Chan-wook is going to TV with a John Le Carré miniseries for AMC

According to The Hollywood Reporter, AMC has lined up another John Le Carré novel to adapt into a miniseries as a follow-up to last year’s adaptation of The Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. The new miniseries will be based on The Little Drummer Girl, and it will be the TV directorial debut of Old Boy and The Handmaiden director Park Chan-wook. The six-part series will star Florence Pugh as an actress who is preparing for “her ultimate role in the ‘theater of the real’,” and THR describes it as “an espionage and international intrigue drama of love and betrayal” that’s set in the ‘70s. The book was previously adapted into a movie in 1984 with Diane Keaton.
