Grant Morrison details TV project

Grant Morrison has revealed more details about his mysterious television project for BBC Scotland.

Morrison is working with director Paul McGuigan (Push) and Stephen Fry on the unnamed show based on Scottish folklore.

"It’s not so much a fable," Morrison told MTV News. "It’s a bit of everything."

"They called me up and said they wanted to do a seven-part event, a TV drama, and BBC Scotland was really interested in doing something big.

"They asked for something that wasn’t Trainspotting and wasn’t Brigadoon. They said, 'We don’t want to see junkies and we don’t want to see chocolate-box Scotland'. So obviously I instantly thought, 'What about Trainspotting meets Brigadoon?'

"Out of it came this really epic, science-fiction idea, but it doesn’t involve any special effects at all. It’s a little bit based in local folklore."

The project is currently in its early stages but is has been confirmed that it will be filmed in Scotland.
