走出非洲 Out Of Africa

Heyday Television — Harry Potter and Gravity producer David Heyman’s joint venture with NBCUniversal International Studios — has acquired the rights to Karen Blixen’s classic memoir, Out of Africa, to develop as a drama TV series.

Emmy-winning The Night Manager director/executive producer Susanne Bier set to direct and executive produce the series, which is based on Blixen’s book and expands upon the world created in Sydney Pollack’s 1985 epic romantic drama feature adaptation for Universal Pictures, which starred Meryl Streep and Robert Redford and won seven Academy Awards, including best picture.

Out of Africa recounts the seventeen years that Blixen spent in the Ngong Hills of Kenya during the last decades of the British Empire as she searched to find her role and voice in a changing world.
