这是今年五个《绿野仙踪》翻拍项目中第一个拿到「绿卡」的。这个项目被称作「黑色版」《绿野仙踪》,更像是一部带有童话色彩的《权力的游戏》(Game of Thrones)。它的主要取材对象不仅仅是《绿野仙踪》这本书,还包括原著作者L. Frank Baum在该书出版后续写的13本小说——穿甲的战士,相互争斗的王国以及名声显赫的巫师,等等。主人公是20多岁的Dorothy Gale,稀里糊涂地踏上了令她大开眼界的旅程。她将参与争夺奥兹国控制权的血腥战争,并且凭借自己坚强的意志笑到最后。Matt Arnold和Josh Friedman担任执行制片人。
After her bittersweet success in series one, Karen has been promoted to Detective Inspector and seemingly given the authority she has long been fighting for. Just as she’s getting into the swing of her powerful new role, she is assigned an infamous unsolved case that will put her under intense scrutiny; from her boss, from the media, and ultimately, from sinister forces that would rather the past stayed in the past.
The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other. Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two year old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife. The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again.
Now, a man’s body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap. With the first piece of evidence in decades, Karen must assemble an unbeatable team alongside her sincere and lovable sidekick DC Jason ‘Mint’ and the brilliant – but romantically complicated – DS Phil Parhatka. With the international renown of the kidnap and the constant pressure from Catriona’s father, Sir Broderick Grant, the team take on the biggest challenge of their careers to date. As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear… the past is far from dead.
