Ben Kingsley will star in the film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s VIOLENT CASES

Ben Kingsley is intended to star in a film adaptation of Violent caseswhich is the first graphic novel created by Neil Gaiman And Dave McKean.

Violent cases is “a journey into Neil Gaiman’s mind, as a famous author recounts fragmented childhood memories and visits to an osteopath who once worked for Al Capone, weaving a dark and tortuous tale of stories, our memory, violence and ways where we can’t escape our past.

Kingsley will take on the role of the osteopath, and it looks like this is going to be a great role for the actor! He is such a good actor and I can’t wait to see how he gets along.

Kingsley said in a statement: “I am delighted to be working with this fantastic team Violent caseswhich for me speaks of the power and importance of narration, of how we negotiate the shadows cast by father figures in our life and above all of our inner child’s right to be heard.

The film will be directed by Colm McCarthy from a screenplay written by Mike Carey and manufacturer Camille Gatin. All three of these creative talents have previously worked together The girl with all the gifts. Carey also worked Lucifer and some other books in the Gaiman’s Sandman universe.

McCarthy said: “Violent cases is a wild, hallucinatory, but stimulating and exciting comic. It is so exciting to build a film from this incredible work that it defined the genre. “

Carey added: “As an aspiring writer in the late 1980s, reading ‘Violent Case’s was a revelation and a joy to me. Its obscurity and playfulness defined a new approach to storytelling. Thirty-five years later, it’s still unique and taking it to a new medium is like discovering it again for the first time. Neil Gaiman redefined serialized comics with “The Sandman”, but “Violent Cases” was his and Dave McKean’s first masterpiece. It’s exciting to introduce him to a new audience and bring his visual lyricism to a new medium. “
