The Long Knives (The CRIME series)

Product Information

And you absolutely cannot beat the feeling when one of the Trainspotting boys makes a cameo appearance. The excitement when I realised was similar to the feeling of him winking at me when I was sitting waiting for the Trainspotting stage show to start. Unreal. Seddon, Aimee (10 July 2023). "John Simm to return for second series of Trainspotting writer Irvine Welsh's Crime on ITVX". lep.co.uk . Retrieved 12 July 2023. The story goes that Trainspotting stood to be Booker-shortlisted in 1993 until two judges threatened to quit. Do you ever think what might have been?

Suscita inoltre un certo fastidio o quanto meno un distacco di partecipazione (ma forse è solo una mia personale idiosincrasia…) il fatto che il nocciolo dell’intera trama poliziesca sia costruito sul tema dei crimini sessuali più disumani, la violenza sui minori e la redenzione affidata a una vendetta perseguita per anni e messa in atto con una ferocia non inferiore a quella dei criminali primari. You have the book out and a few days later we start filming [it]. We’re in pre-production now, so it’s kind of record time.”

Irvine Welsh and Miranda Sawyer in conversation at Spiritland

Tom Walker, the Folio Society’s publishing director, told the Observer: “ Trainspotting remains one of the most anarchic and potent novels of the 20th century, and 30 years on Welsh’s writing has lost none of its capacity to overpower the reader with its energy and wit.” So there are some new characters in there, and to be honest it’s quite a lot darker than the book or the film. It’s going to be quite full-on, but hopefully a great experience.” On 23 July 2020, BritBox announced that Irvine Welsh would be adapting Crime as a six-part miniseries for streaming service with Irvine Welsh adapting his own book alongside Dean Cavanagh.

In October 2022, a second six-part series started filming in Scotland with Welsh and Cavanagh again scripting. Directors for the second series include Trygve Allister Diesen and Anthony Neilson. [5] Production is by Buccaneer and Off Grid Film and TV. [6] Production crews were reported in Glasgow’s West End, with filming occurring on Horselethill Road and Rosslyn Terrace. [7] Filming continued in Glasgow into November 2022. [8] The cast also includes Joanna Vanderham (Warrior, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) as DS Amanda Drummond, and James Sives (Guilt, Too Close) as Detective Inspector Dougie Gillman. The Long Knives’ is the second novel in which DI Ray Lennox is the main protagonist, the first being the novel ‘Crime’ and he also featured in the novel ‘Filth’ too. I had read Filth but hadn’t read ‘Crime’ prior to reading this novel, as it can be read as as a stand alone but I actually went and watched the television series, ‘Crime’ which was based on that novel and it gave me a bit of a flavour of what had went on prior to the events in this outing. Ma, a prescindere da ogni considerazione, I lunghi coltelli è un romanzo che mette in discussione ogni valore morale e che punta a squarciarti la pancia (e non solo...) a causa dei tuoi errori e delle tue debolezze. Irvine Welsh travalica i confini del bene e del male per raccontare - a modo suo - una storia fatta di dolore, rabbia e ingiustizia, dove i buoni diventano cattivi perché tutti sono andati troppo oltre e non si torna più indietro.

Edinburgh author Irvine Welsh has dedicated his latest novel to close friend Bradley Welsh after his death in 2019. Trainspotting author Welsh said: “Real life is so grotesque and gruesome anyway. Politicians and leaders are all so grotesque and horrendous that I think, to get any attention, art has to be even more horrendous than them.” Bradley Welsh, 48, was shot outside his Edinburgh home in April 2019, and was known for his work across the city as well as running the Holyrood Boxing Gym. Cosa succede quando un esponente politico conservatore piuttosto noto viene brutalmente assassinato attraverso l'evirazione? E quando qualche tempo prima un altro pezzo grosso stava per subire la stessa sorte? Qualcuno tende a mettere i bastoni tra le ruote a chi indaga per non scoprire altri altarini sordidi. Ha senso andare avanti? Alla fine chi ha il coltello dalla parte del manico sembra farla sempre franca, a meno che non incontri qualcuno che ha parecchio da vendicare.
