JACK LOWDEN TO LEAD
METROPOLIS TV SERIES ADAPTATION
 |
| Jack Lowden will lead the new series |
According to Screen Daily, our dearest boy
Jack Lowden will, beside shooting the seventh season of
Slow Horses, also lead a TV series adaptation of
METROPOLIS, the final novel in the
Berlin Noir novel series by
Philip Kerr. He wrote 14 novels in the series before he died in 2018.
Tom Shankland, who recently helmed
The Leopard saga for Netflix, is directing the period set drama for
Apple TV Plus. The series focuses on the character of detective Bernie Gunther.
METROPOLIS, set in 1928, tells the origin story of Gunther, a police officer newly promoted to the elite Berlin Murder Squad who must investigate what seems to be a serial killer targeting victims on the fringes of society.
I guess by the time it's on Apple, we have probably unsubbed it already....
ReplyDeleteLOL they are getting better, maybe you will stick with them longer.
DeleteThe guy who did The Leopard did a good job I'll trust him because I want all the novels to be adapted. I believe Jack would be only in the origin story, because the next ones take place between 1933 and the early 60s in different parts of the world and they'll need an older actor. In the past Sean Bean and Woody Harrelson had been rumored to be cast as Bernie Gunther, but before his death Philip Kerr wanted Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (and so do I).
ReplyDeleteJack certainly has a lot of work on new TV series to do with this, Horses and Jane Austen crap on Netflix.
