US version of VERBOTENE LIEBE being developedSam Martin, a former vp at cable network HBO, is set to adapt a story line from hit German soap VERBOTENE LIEBE (Forbidden Love) for the U.S. market.
Martin, through her new aid+abet shingle, has acquired the remake rights to "Christian & Olli," a popular "forbidden love" story line about a gay couple living together in Dusseldorf.
