The British Broadcasting Corporation plans to create a film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's literary epic drama "War and Peace" which will be shot in Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia, informed LETA, referring to the Hollywood Reporter.

The episode from the film "War and Peace" screened in 1965.

The novel's adaptation will be divided into six episodes.

 

The adaptation will star the American actor Paul Dano, British actress Lily James, and British actor James Norton. The series will be directed by Tom Harper and produced by The Weinstein Co..

 

"I fell in love with Tolstoy's "War and Peace" as a teenager when I read it for the first time. Putting an epic, iconic story like "War and Peace" on screen with a cast of this caliber is an incredible thrill. Lily, Paul, and James are all amazingly talented actors and it takes their level of talent to capture the scale of Tolstoy's words," Harvey Weinstein, Co-Chairman and Executive Producer for The Weinstein Co. said.

 

The series will be filmed in Russia, Lithuania, and Latvia beginning in January.
