Televisa USA has woken Anne Rice’s “The Sleeping Beauty” books from their slumber and has acquired the English-language television and digital rights to the author’s popular erotica series.
The books, which were published in the 1980s under the pseudonym A.N. Roquelaure and went mainstream after the success of E.L. James’ “Fifty Shades of Grey” series, follows a beautiful young princess who is awakened from her long sleep in a much more provocative way than the traditional fairytale.

Nice to see Anne Rice getting some love.
ReplyDeleteThe Vampire Chronicles, Christ the Lord and now The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy are all being adapted (with New Tales of the Vampires and Lives of the Mayfair Witches also possibly being adapted).
.... soooooo a premium cable network, I assume?
ReplyDeleteSince I did not get past the first book of 50 shades, this does not peak my interest.
ReplyDeleteThese books are highly sexual ... this should be interesting, lol
ReplyDeleteNot interested in this. I read the first book and it was terrible.
ReplyDeleteafter sleeping for so long, she must be really horny.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing like 50 Shades. It's actually beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see so many Anne Rice projects finally being adapted!
ReplyDeleteI think i know someone who might be interested in this..
ReplyDeleteAre they all being adapted into tv series or are some of them movies? I only read the Vampire Chonicles and the Mayfari Witches books.
ReplyDeleteThe Vampire Chronicles and Christ the Lord are getting movies. The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy is a TV Show.
ReplyDeleteMayfair Witches and New Tales of the Vampires may also be getting movies depending on if they were included under 'The Vampire Chronicles' banner (since they're all in the same world). It's yet to be confirmed if they were included or not though.
Just to be more accurate, the ORIGINAL tale is actually that the girl fall asleep, is raped, gets pregnant, gives birth, then awakes, is taken to the palace by the king's order, the queen (the guy is actually already married) tries to kill the girl and the children, the king then kills his own wife and marries the girl she raped.
ReplyDeleteSo... It's probably the closer version of the true story. xD
