Tele Images launches Levy's 'Be There' series

October 09, 2007 The four-episdode, 52-minute series, produced by Mai-Juin Production for Gallic network M6, already sold to Antena 3 in Spain, TSR in Switzerland and RTL TVI in Belgium after the first day of the MIPCOM market Monday. Old friends Courtois and Levy thought the story could best be told in a longer format, so they opted for a TV series rather than a feature film and collaborated throughout the production. Steven Spielberg bought the rights to Levy's best-selling novel "If Only It Were True" and released the onscreen adaptation "Just Like Heaven," starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, in 2005, when it rose to the top of the boxoffice with more than $20 million in its opening weekend.
