Ridley Scott considers RED RIDING

Director Ridley Scott is considering a run at remaking the RED RIDING trilogy.

The miniseries is a study of power and police corruption framed around the investigation of the disappearance of several young girls. For the pic, the setting will be transferred from Britain to the U.S. The mini clocked in at more than five hours, so Zaillian and Scott have their work cut out for them to compress it into one film. — Variety

Columbia Pictures has picked up rights to the three-part mini-series, which originated in the UK. The studio is in talks with Steve Zaillian (SCHINDLER’S LIST) to write and Ridley Scott to direct.
