Luther Prequel Movie Confirmed.

If you’re a fan of the BBC crime drama series Luther, starring Idris Elba, then the good news for you is that plans are now under-way to produce a big screen version of the property.

Creator Neil Cross recently confirmed that the short tempered, rule-breaking detective will be making his movie debut in a film which will be set before the TV series. This means his loyal sidekick Justin Ripely will also feature heavily in the prequel but unfortunately the popular character Alice Morgan will be exempt, as the murderous genius didn’t appear until the series started.

Cross who was interviewed at the Edinburgh TV Festival revealed that the script is already written and that the final scene of the movie will lead into the first scene of the TV series.
