According to Variety, Columbia has snapped up the movie rights to the three-part series, which is based on The Damned United author David Peace's crime novels about the Yorkshire Ripper serial killer case and police corruption.
Steve Zallian (Scott's American Gangster) is expected to come on board to write the film, which will move the action from Britain to the US.
Red Riding, starring Andrew Garfield, Paddy Considine, Sean Bean and David Morrissey, aired this March in the UK. The three telefilms will be released theatrically in the US this autumn as a 302-minute feature.
