Idris Elba has said the upcoming Luther movie is a ‘massive achievement’ for the cast and crew. The Hollywood star, who scored his breakthrough role in hit US TV series The Wire 20 years ago, also revealed the Netflix film version of his breakthrough BBC detective drama is close to completion.
Speaking in a new interview, the 49-year-old reassured fans that the full-length feature stays true to its gritty roots. The film will continue the story of haunted rogue Detective Chief Inspector John Luther following five critically acclaimed series on the BBC. ‘I feel like definitely the film is a massive achievement for all of us.
We love the film. We’re still finishing it up now,’ Idris revealed. ‘I think the fans that are worried about, “Wow, now Luther is going to get Hollywood” – I don’t think they need to worry about that. ’He added to Capital Xtra: ‘I think we have definitely paid attention to the core fans but we have also left room for people who don’t know Luther to kind of say, “Let me get involved”.
