Legendary Television has acquired the rights to the Anna Dorn novel “Perfume & Pain” with Clea DuVall set to write and direct, PvNew has learned exclusively.

The book is described as a “a sexy and twisted character drama following a hopelessly romantic and equally reckless sapphic novelist on the verge of superstardom and simultaneously total self-destruction – depending which way the wind blows and what pill she pops next. Astrid will need to write her own deliverance into healing, true love, and success… before she succumbs to the vices that threaten to tear her apart.”

The book was originally published in the U.S. on May 21 by Simon & Schuster. Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler will produce under their Killer Films banner. Clea DuVall to Write, Direct ‘Perfume & Pain’ Series Adaptation for Legendary Television
