16.05.2001: Link to movie- Click here to go to the official '24 Hour Party People' site. 16.05.2001: Crime and Punishment is John's next project. The filming of Fyodr Dostoevksy's classic novel, Crime and Punishment, scripted by Tony Marchant for BBC2, will get under way in a few weeks.
John has been cast in the lead role for the piece, which will be filmed in St Petersburg. It will be directed by Julian Jarrold, the director of Mr Marchant's most recent TV project, Channel 4's Never Never. In Never Never, as you may know, John starred as a loan shark living on a London council estate.
David Snodin, the BBC staff producer who produced Marchant's Bafta-winning serial Holding On, had to fight hard to win the commission.
There is said to have been disagreement about who should play the leading character of Raskolnikov, a student who kills his landlady.
Members of the production team have joked that if they had cast Jamie Oliver, the project would have been given the green light immediately.
Mr Marchant, who won the Bafta Dennis Potter Award last year, is also writing a Channel 4 project about the pharmaceutical industry called Swallow.
"It is ripe for an expose," said a production source on the project, which has been commissioned by drama boss Tessa Ross.
"However, it is at a very early stage," the source added. 16.05.2001: Click here to see the Ninja Nites shop which John's character works in, in new movie 'Miranda'.
