James Marsh, Anand Tucker and Julian Jarrold took on three separate projects all tied together by the limb, or whatever other body part you can think of. Adapted by Tony Grisoni, the screenplays based on the four books in British novelist David Peace’s “Red Riding Quartet”. The project which is set in Yorkshire in the 1970s and early ‘80s has a storyline that covers police corruption and perversion of justice in the hunt for the Ripper from 1975 until his detection in 1981, when Peter Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women. He is serving multiple life sentences. Studiocanal’s poster paints this as an all in red type of series – which might see the first installment sometime this year, but the company will package it as a trilogy to buyers.
