Extravagance

Logline : John Law, an adventurer and gambler who is fighting his last crusade, putting absolutist France upside down, creating the economic “Miracle of the Seine”, becoming the richest man in the world, kicking off the first stock market bubble in history and going down with its spectacular collapse. Extravagance tells his story, starting at the death of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and spreading over the unleashed “sex & drugs & rock’n’roll” period that followed. It’s a big-time heist story. Not about robbing a bank. But about establishing one. It’s DALLAS meets WALL STREET, as if written by Alexandre Dumas. Project details and contacts on Series Mania+
