FX Plans Limited Series Based on The Sex Pistols
FX is producing a ‘limited series’ TV show about legendary punk rock group The Sex Pistols.
Called Pistol, the show will be based on guitarist Steve Jones’ memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol.
The show will star Anson Boon as Johnny Rotten and Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, with Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams as Pamela Rook. Danny Boyle of Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire fame will direct.
Filming for Pistol is set to begin in March. Wonder if it will last as long as the Longhorn Ballroom Show in Dallas in 1978. Click the link it’s worth the read.
“Ever feel like you’re being cheated?”
– Johnny Rotten
