Televisa USA, a division of the Mexican media company Televisa, S.A. de C.V., has acquired the English-language television and digital rights to world-famous author Anne Rice’s best-selling The Sleeping Beauty series of erotic novels, announced Televisa USA Managing Director Paul Presburger and Chief Creative Officer Michael Garcia. Rice will executive produce in partnership with Academy Award®-nominated producer Rachel Winter (Dallas Buyers Club and the untitled LeBron James bio pic); prolific TV-film-digital producer and Endemol North America Co-Chairman-CEO Charlie Corwin (Oscar-nominated films Half Nelson, The Squid and the Whale); and former CAA motion picture literary agent-turned-producer Jessica Matthews.
The books are elegantly written, but with steamy, hot and very detailed sex scenes. The story follows a beautiful young princess who is awakened from her long sleep, but in a much more provocative way than the traditional fairytale. And that’s where her journey to find herself begins.
