Adapted from David Peace's novel, IFC Films has now released the trailer for the Red Riding trilogy, which is based on the six-year police investigation of Peter William Suttcliffe, aka "the Yorkshire Ripper," who killed 12 women in Northern England in the 1970s. Directed by Julian Jarrold, James Marsh and Anand Tucker, the film opens in New York on Friday, February 5 at the IFC Center, with a national release to follow. It will simultaneously be available on IFC Films’ video on demand platform, available to over 50 million homes in all major markets.
"Sure to be one of the cinematic events of the year, RED RIDING is a mesmerizing neo-noir epic based on factual events and adapted for the screen by Tony Grisoni (FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS) from David Peace’s electrifying series of novels revolving around the manhunt for the “Yorkshire Ripper,” a serial killer who terrorized northwest England in the 1970s and ’80s.
The three films are directed by three notable filmmakers—Julian Jarrold (BRIDESHEAD REVISITED), James Marsh (MAN ON WIRE) and Anand Tucker (SHOPGIRL). Each boasts a stellar British cast that includes Andrew Garfield (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS), Sean Bean (LORD OF THE RINGS), Paddy Considine (DEAD MAN’S SHOES), Rebecca Hall (VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA), and Peter Mullan (TRAINSPOTTING)."

Looks rather interesting to me. |
I am thrilled that BD is no longer calling this "Red Riding Hood"!
And yeah, these three TV films of the four brilliant novels are absolutely superb.
They still aren't horror though. It's a story about police corruption in the 70's Yorkshire. |
Its not a horror its more of a thiller movie it looks intense and it worth a check. |
Brits make their horror flicks more like thrillers and they often have plots that you seem to lose track of. |
looks as uninteresting as the bbc |
