Sexy Beast, Jonathan Glazer’s stylish and bellicose 2000 gangster film, is being adapted for a prequel TV series by one of the writers of The Sopranos.
Deadline reports that Michael Caleo, who was part of David Chase’s writing team on the HBO series, will create the show.
It will tell the origin stories of the unhinged duo Don Logan and Teddy Bass and the retired, reluctant gangster Gal Dove.
The film won a host of awards, including best film at the British Independent Film awards, and was included in the Observer’s list of best British films between 1984 and 2009.
