A deal has been struck with producers Stephen Woolley, Elizabeth Karlsen and Rachael Horovitz for the rights to develop Albertine’s candid hit memoirs – Clothes, Clothes, Clothes.
Viv Albertine, the guitarist with the Slits who was at the core of the British punk movement, is to have her life story adapted for a television series.
Horovitz, meanwhile, produced the Aaron Sorkin-penned adaptation of Michael Lewis’s book Moneyball, and the TV series Patrick Melrose, adapted from Edward St Aubyn’s novels and starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
