Having just completed a TREATMENT and PITCH for a multi-part TV series, I am searching for a company to look at this work. In addition, the offering is well suited to a full movie.
The work is based on my recent novel titled THE TWO LIVES OF GRAND DUKE MICHAEL (the last Tsar of Imperial Russia) which starts its journey in 1917 upon the abdication of Michael`s elder brother Tsar Nicholas II and concludes in 1947 when he dies with his 2 wives …. Olga Bystrovia (MI6 Indian spy) and Natasha Romanov (his first wife who assumed he had been assassinated in 1918 by Lenin’s Bolshevik thugs) at his bedside in a London hospital. A tear-jerking ending!
The resurgence of worldwide interest in the Imperial Royal family is more topical now as the centennial anniversary of the first Romanov to be assassinated on the authority of the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin occurred on June 13th 2018.
The novel creates controversy and mysteries which will inevitably challenge history as we know it in the greatest adventure story awaiting screening.
Grand Duke Michael undertakes a perilous two-week journey to the UK from Bolshevik Russia to meet with the Western Allies to discuss invasion plans to remove the Bolsheviks from Power and install him as the new Tsar. Upon his return, and after burying a huge haul of Russian Crown Jewels on the Yorkshire coast, the plans come to a halting stop when it is claimed that he was assassinated whilst under house arrest in Siberia.
The incontestable facts emerge, that after several searches at the murder scene in Perm by Russian investigators over the last few years… the body has never been found.
Here the story is set for the authors imagined second chapter in the life of Grand Duke Michael. He carefully crafts in detail, the revelation of his survival… helped by Sidney Reilly of MI6, and a new life in the UK under a different identity with the care of the British Secret Service whilst working at Bletchley Park in WW2.
It fulfills the audiences need for a powerful story that transports us out of our lives and into the world of a tragic, yet heroic figure in history in a combination of historical drama, moving bigamous love story, high adventure, and espionage.
Now a trilogy is been completed toward the finale by the reclamation of the Russian Imperial Throne in 2019 by Grand Duke Michaels descendant….. Hannah Romanov.
