Jack Thorne (The Scouting Book For Boys) has been hired to pen the big screen version of E4 show Skins.

According to The Guardian, Thorne will write a movie for Film4 that brings together all the different casts of the popular teen drama. The show helped launch the careers of Nicholas Hoult and Dev Patel, while current lead Kaya Scodelario (Effy) will appear in Clash Of The Titans next month.

The programme, which revolves around hard-partying teenagers growing up in Bristol, recently wrapped up its fourth series with the shock death of Freddie McLair (Luke Pasqualino). A completely new cast, the show's third, is expected for its next run.

Thorne has written five episodes of Skins and also worked on Shameless and Cast Offs.
