HBO’s new miniseries is directed by filmmaker Olivier Assayas
HBO released this Tuesday (17) the first teaser for “Irma Vep”, a remake of the 1996 French film, which was directed by Olivier Assayas (“Above the clouds”). Under the command of the filmmaker himself, the miniseries follows an actress, played by Alicia Vikander (“The Danish Girl”), who cannot separate her personality from one of her characters.

Seeking new challenges, she begins to try to escape patterns and stereotypes, but begins to have difficulty separating her own identity from the character she is about to play in theaters.
In addition to Vikander, the cast of the miniseries has Tone Sturridge (“Mary Shelley”), Byron Bowers (“Kimi: Someone’s Listening”), speech Chen (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) Adria Arjona (“Squad 6”), Jerrod Carmichael (“Ramy”), Carrie Brownstein (“Portlandia”) and Devon Ross. Maggie Cheung and Jean-Pierre Léaudwho participated in the original feature, will make cameos in the remake.
The miniseries “Irma Vep” premieres on June 6 on HBO.
