Sabahattin Ali’s masterpiece “Madonna in a Fur
Coat” is being arranged to have its own screen adaptation by a company we’d
like to keep unnamed for now. The production company seem to have acquired the
rights for the work but final decision about whether it’ll be a television
series or a movie is yet to be decided. It is also reported that the adaptation
is expected to be released for the 2017-2018 season.
The novel is the choice of a large number of
readers and still remains a best-seller. There’s a good chance the adaptation
may very well be a partnership between a local production company and an
international one. Provided that Filiz Ali, the heiress to Sabahattin Ali and
known to be of meticulous nature, gives the greenlight for the project, the
audience is sure to witness a successful adaptation. We can’t wait to hear the
rest of the story and eventually see it. In the meantime, we’ll keep you
updated!
