The actor explained he felt Luther had all the ingredients of a “classic Neo-noir” film from the 90s “like Seven and Along Came a Spider.”
“We are really advancing on getting a movie version [of the show] up on the screen,” Elba said.
Speaking with Variety, Idris Elba revealed that the show’s creator, Neil Cross, is currently hard at work on a script that would transport the popular crime fighter onto the silver screen after Season 5.
“Neil is beavering away on writing this thing, and I think the remit for the film is to scale it up.”
