New Madame Tussaud biopic

Andy Serkis announces plans for a new series on the life and career of Madame Tussaud


"Marie Tussaud, the founder of legendary wax museum, Madame Tussauds, is going to be the subject of a new series. Entitled "Madame!," the project is brainchild of Andy Serkis, famous for playing Gollum in the Lord of the Rings series and Caesar in the Planet of the Apes franchise. Serkis's production company, Imaginarium Productions, is codeveloping the series with distribution company Newen Connect."

Sounds fun, though I'm not expecting great historical insights.  According to Serkis:

This is no straight-up period drama, it is a hilariously crazy, no holds barred, anarchic, punk caper conjured from the curiously twisted mind of a fabulously post-truth executioner’s daughter!
