The Starvation Video games producer Jim Miller is making a “gritty” TV sequence based mostly on the “violent, complicated subculture” of British bike golf equipment.
The BAFTA movie award nominee is adapting Iain Parke’s cult crime thriller Heavy Obligation novel sequence for an “adrenaline-fuelled” TV manufacturing that’s set within the North East of England.
The books – which started with 2009’s Heavy Obligation Individuals, adopted by 2011’s Heavy Obligation Angle and 2012’s Heavy Obligation Hassle – delve into the “uncooked and harmful” world of British outlaw bikers, of which characters from an outlaw bike membership are tangled in crime, loyalty, betrayal and brotherhood.
The venture – which is thought to be “one of the vital anticipated UK tv diversifications in growth” – is being labored on, and the broadly acclaimed biker skilled Edward Winterhalder serves as co-producer.
Casting, in addition to a community, for the sequence can be introduced within the “coming months”.
Jim, 41, mentioned: “I used to be instantly struck by the vividness of Iain’s world.
“It’s harmful, unpredictable, and deeply human. There’s a uncooked reality to the characters that I believe will resonate with audiences globally.
“These tales go approach past the biker picture; they’re about id, survival, and household, discovered and cast.”
Enthusiastic about collaborating with Jim, Iain added: “Jim brings a world sensibility and a cinematic imaginative and prescient that may elevate these tales whereas retaining them grounded within the gritty realism that followers love.
“This has at all times been a world ripe for the display, darkish, visceral, and full of ethical complexity.”
