After “Diane de Poitiers”, Josée Dayan is preparing a new major project with Isabelle Adjani. The director will stage a new series version of “Belphégor”, the story of the famous ghost of the Louvre.
This is a project that will certainly deserve our full attention in a few months. According varietyIsabelle Adjani will soon be filming in a new adaptation of Belphegorthe famous novel by Arthur Bernède, which will be directed by Josée Dayan.
And according to the American site, this new version, which does not yet have a broadcaster at the moment, will be offered to the public in black and white.

Variety also reports that the filmmaker would like Isabelle Adjani to face actor John Malkovich in this six-part revisit to the story telling of an investigation taking place at the Louvre Museum. In the work of 1927, a disturbing ghost indeed haunted the sublime places…
This collaboration between the Caesarized actress and Josée Dayan will obviously not be the first since the two women have already teamed up for the small screen in the past.
Isabelle Adjani indeed filmed in 2018 in the episode Never die again of the successful French series Capitaine Marleau (Corinne Masiero plays the main role), directed by Josée Dayan.
But that’s not all, since viewers will soon have the pleasure of discovering on France Télévisions the historical mini-series Diane de Poitiers directed by Josée Dayan and starring Isabelle Adjani. Hugo Becker, Samuel Labarthe, Virginie Ledoyen, Jeanne Balibar, but also Joeystarr, Gérard Depardieu and Guillaume Galienne will give him the answer.
Isabelle Adjani soon in the cinema and on Netflix
On the sidelines of this fiction divided into two 90-minute episodes and Belphégor, Isabelle Adjani is teeming – as always – with projects. We will see her at the cinema in November in Nicolas Bedos’ Masquerade. And she starts filming this September 2022 in the feature film inspired by the comic strip The Great Odalisque, which revisits the cult manga Cat’s Eyes for Netflix. Adèle Exarchopoulos and Mélanie Laurent will be at his side in this already highly anticipated film.
