Filming is set to get underway for a large-scale adaptation of a book which looks into the disappearance of Jean McConville.
'Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland' was written by journalist Patrick Radden Keefe and focuses on The Troubles, beginning with the 1972 abduction and murder of Jean McConville.
He began researching and writing the book after reading the obituary for Dolours Price in 2013.

According to The Knowledge, Say Nothing is "gearing up for a lengthy UK shoot" and it has not been revealed if the series is set to film in Northern Ireland.
The Knowledge said: "Having optioned the rights to New Yorker Radden Keefe’s around four years ago, LA-based production company Color Force is now in pre-production in the UK with a series adaptation for FX.
"Best known for the series of Hunger Games films, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, American Crime Story and Pose, the company has a first-look deal with FX Productions.
"The book explores the notorious 1972 abduction and murder of 38-year-old widow Jean McConville, during the height of Northern Ireland’s sectarian conflict, and the ramifications that lasted for many years afterwards."
The book was optioned for TV by the producers of American Crime Story who made both drama series 'The People vs OJ Simpson' and 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' back in 2019.
