An adaptation of the novel “We Go Around in the Night and are Consumed by Fire” by “Loaded” producers Hillbilly Films and Television has attached its key creative team.
BAFTA-nominated helmer Georgi Banks-Davies (“I Hate Suzie”) is set to direct the limited drama series, while Clare McQuillan (“Impulse”) is writing. The film deal was brokered by Luke Speed of the Curtis Brown Group on behalf of Alexander Cochran of C&w Agency.
Inspired by graffiti found on an overpass in Manchester, Jules Grant’s debut novel is a queer love story and revenge thriller that provides a little-seen view of British gangland in Manchester, from a female perspective.
Banks-Davies most recently served as the lead director on Sky series “I Hate Suzie,” which is nominated for the best series BAFTA TV Award as well as an emerging talent (fiction) nod for the director. Her additional credits include short drama “Garfield,...

Known for exploring psychological terrain with a tactful and poetic profundity, she broke out on filmic terms with the ’09 short Heat, British Academy Television Award for Best Single Drama winner Random (2011) for which she employed the services of thesp/muse Nadine Marshall. Part of the 2012 edition of Sundance’s June Screenwriters Lab, Brit playwright (prolific pace) and filmmaker Debbie Tucker Green (who also goes by the lower-cased debbie tucker green) commenced shooting on the BFI-funded contempo drama in April of this year. Marshall who got a nom for Random, and mostly recently was cast in Green’s play, would join the feature alongside some mega wattage in Idris Elba. With no Andrea Arnold film in sight for ’14, we look forward to for Green’s feature debut contribution, which includes the work of Lilting cinematographer Urszula Pontikos.
