In the 1800s, Braille revolutionized the world by creating a tactile writing system.<\/p>\n<p>Leconte will pen the screenplay with Serge Frydman (<em>Now or Never<\/em>, <em>The Girl on the Bridge<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Bertrand Cohen and Stephane Meunier, co-founders of Terence Films, commented: \u201cLouis Braille is one of France\u2019s most iconic figures, and while his writing system is known globally, the story of his life is largely untold. At a young age, he changed the world for millions by creating a code that works in all alphabets and languages, even today. Based on a novel by H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Jousse, this drama is set to have widespread appeal, especially with Patrice Leconte on board to write and direct. With his impressive list of credits, he is ideally placed to take this extraordinary story and develop it into a high-end proposition for the international market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lars Blomgren, head of scripted at Banijay, said: \u201cWe have a very established scripted business in France, and this deal is further evidence of how our companies attract significant talent and IP. The story of Louis Braille is a fascinating one, and with the audience demand for untapped, diverse stories continuing to grow on both linear broadcasters and streaming platforms, there is huge potential globally for this inspirational drama.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banijay France&#8217;s scripted label Terence Films is set to develop an adaptation of H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Jousse&#8217;s best-selling novel The Hands of Louis Braille.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":16078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2737],"class_list":["post-16077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-terence-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Terence Films to Adapt Louis Braille Novel - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Terence Films to Adapt Louis Braille Novel - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Banijay France&#039;s scripted label Terence Films is set to develop an adaptation of H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Jousse&#039;s best-selling novel The Hands of Louis Braille.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-12-16T15:00:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-12-16T15:01:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/TerenceFilms-PatricLeconte-1221.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/\",\"name\":\"Terence Films to Adapt Louis Braille Novel - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-12-16T15:00:16+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-12-16T15:01:29+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/terence-films-to-adapt-louis-braille-novel\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Terence Films to Adapt Louis Braille Novel\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
