‘Adolescence’ Maker Warp Behind TV Drama Of Mick Jackson’s BAFTA-Winning 1984 Nuclear Movie ‘Threads’
A 'Threads' TV drama is coming from 'Adolescence' producer Warp Films - the movie from Mick Jackson and Barry Hines won BAFTAs.
Adolescence producer Warp Films is making a TV drama adaptation of the nuclear movie, which portrayed a fictional apocalypse in the north England city of Sheffield. The highly-rated movie, which was penned by Barry Hines, was an international co-production between the BBC, Nine Network and Western World Television and was one of the first projects to portray a nuclear winter at a time when the Cold War was raging. Warp is riding high off the runaway success of Netflix’s Adolescence, which the Sheffield-based outfit produced with Brad Pitt’s Plan B and star Stephen Graham’s Matriarch Productions.
