It's been three years since a new series of Luther was released on our screens and fans of the hit detective drama will be pleased to hear it doesn't sound like there is long to wait until the characters return - but this time on the big screen. In an interview with Capital Xtra on Wednesday, Hollywood star Idris Elba, who plays DCI John Luther, teased what fans can expect from the movie.
He explained how the upcoming film, which is nearing completion, is a “massive achievement” for both the cast and crew. Although the plot is being kept under wraps, the film will continue to follow the story of haunted rogue Detective Chief Inspector John Luther - which had a successful five 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 told presenter Robert Bruce: “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. I think we have definitely paid attention to the core fans.
