Between that & Get Carter for best British gangster film for me.

“The Long Good Friday” is getting primed for a TV series with Ray Winstone involved in some capacity. Turns it out, it's moving quite steadily along.

Speaking with BBC Radio 5 (via EW), Ray Winstone confirmed that he's involved in the project (though it isn't clear in what capacity) and stresses that it won't be an exact remake. “We’re not remaking the film,” he said. “You can’t remake that. Hoskins is so brilliant and the story’s so great. We’re actually like, taking it [to] today [and making it about] his family, maybe his son, who works in the City. We might be doing something about that. We’re having it written at the moment and we’ll see how we go with it.”





Mind that dates from about a year and a half ago, so it sounds like it's caught in developmenhell.
