The
Scottish producer David Murdoch, of Sinner Films in Glasgow, Scotland, is
currently working on a film based on James Hogg’s Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. The project, envisioned as a “psychological feature
thriller,” according to Murdoch, will be directed by the Danish director Adam
Neutzsky-Wulff. Neutzsky-Wulff recently directed The Stranger Inside (2013),
which was well received by critics and will be distributed across the globe by
Sony. The Cambridge-born actress Rosie Day, well known for her work in The Seasoning House (2012), may play the
lead in the adaption of Confessions
by Sinner Films. Sinner
Films is currently in talks with Kaleidoscope to distribute the adaptation of Hogg's Private Memoirs and Confessions in the U.K.
Murdoch is undertaking this project, in which Hogg’s novel is reworked for a (post)modern audience, with an experienced Irish producer, giving it Celtic roots. However, Murdoch is also interested in making it a transatlantic venture, and is still looking for private investors on both sides of the Atlantic. If you wish to support the project, please contact David Murdoch at david@sinnerfilms.com.
