UK’s Channel 4 and Revolution Films are preparing to take on a $10 million trilogy of films centered around the hunt for the notorious Yorkshire Ripper serial killer. Based on three of the four books by British novelist David Peace’s "Red Riding Quartet", the story covers police corruption and perversion of justice in the hunt for the famous serial killer from 1975 to 1981.

Tony Grisoni has adapted the screenplays, with Julian Jarrold, James Marsh and Anand Tucker set to direct. It will be produced as a TV series, but will receive both an UK and international theatrical release.
