Red Riding - Trailer Now Available

The long-awaited dramatisation of David Peace's cult Red Riding novels for Channel 4 will be hitting our television screens in March. Red Riding shot at numerous locations across the Yorkshire region in 2008. Screen Yorkshire supported Red Riding through its Production Fund and provided locations and crewing support.

Mark Addy (The Full Monty), Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), Jim Carter (Cranford), Warren Clarke (Dalziel and Pascoe), Paddy Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum), Andrew Garfield (Boy A), Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), Sean Harris (24 Hour Party People), John Henshaw (Early Doors), Gerard Kearns (Shameless), Eddie Marsan (Vera Drake), David Morrissey (Sense and Sensibility), Daniel Mays (White Girl) Peter Mullan (Boy A), Maxine Peake (See No Evil), Saskia Reeves (The Fixer) and Lesley Sharp (Afterlife) are amongst the phenomenal cast that are set to star in Tony Grisoni's (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) adaptation of Red Riding for Channel 4 in association with Screen Yorkshire and Lip Sync.

Grisoni has adapted three of David Peace's four cult noir novels into a trilogy of feverish crime thrillers set against the backdrop of Yorkshire in the 70's and 80's - a time of fear, distrust and the Ripper murders. The films also boast an impressive list of directing talent; top film directors Julian Jarrold (Brideshead Revisited), James Marsh (Man on Wire) and Anand Tucker (Hilary & Jackie) make a rare move to the small screen to put their own spin on these dark tales of greed, corruption and abuse of power.
