Director Danny Boyle is directing a series about the Sex Pistols. The actors Maisie Williams and Toby Wallace are there.
British director Danny Boyle (64, "Trainspotting") will direct a six-part series about the Sex Pistols ("Never Mind The Bollocks"). The US broadcaster FX's TV show entitled "Pistol" is based on "Lonely Boy", the autobiography of the band's guitarist Steve Jones (65), and reports "Entertainment Weekly". In a statement, Boyle described the success of the Sex Pistols in the mid-1970s as the moment when British society and culture changed forever.
"Imagine breaking into the world of 'The Crown' and 'Downton Abbey' with your buddies and screaming your songs and your anger over everything it stands for," Boyle is quoted as saying. Ordinary young people would have taken the stage "and everyone had to watch and listen and everyone feared or followed them".
"Game of Thrones" star is there
The actors who will be seen in the series, according to the report, include "Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams (23) as Pamela Rooke and Toby Wallace (24), who is supposed to play Steve Jones. Louis Patridge (17) should therefore be there as Sid Vicious. Filming is scheduled to begin in March.
