He created some of film’s most dramatic moments, and his own experiences are about to become the stuff of drama. A series based on the life and career of Ingmar Bergman is currently in development for Swedish television, to be scripted by Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell, one of the world’s best-selling authors. Mankell’s screenplay will focus on the darkest as well as lighter periods in the auteur’s life, and will follow him from his work in the theater to his many years on the remote island of Fårö, according to Screen Daily. Mankell told the magazine, “What fascinates me is the price Bergman had to pay for his uncompromising creativity—it darkened many aspects of the rest of his life.” The series is being planned as four one-hour episodes and will be broadcast in 2011.
