Eva Longoria To Star In The TV Adaptation Of House of The Spirits
Get ready everyone! The best selling novel, The House of the Spirits, is becoming a television show, and Eva Longoria is set to star in it. The Desperate Housewives actress will take on the role of Blana Trueba.
The novel, by Isabel Allende, is a family saga, spanning three generations. The powerful women of the family guide the Truebas through a series of trials and tribulations. The story is set in a Latin American country in which the family confronts war and a bit of magic.
Francisca Alegría, the director and one of the adaptors of the piece, stated:
It's an honor to be adapting Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits. I am a devout admirer of her work and her as an artist, and this novel is such a fundamental piece of Latin American culture. Isabel was ahead of her time, just like the female protagonists of the story, and I feel that today, 40 years later, we can actually understand and integrate the deeply complex threads of their powerful lineage. Fernanda and I are beyond excited to be developing this series with our wonderful producers at FilmNation and to have the exceptional Eva Longoria starring as Blanca.
We can't wait to see Eva Longoria hit the screen in The House of the Spirits.
