Burning Wheel Productions are pleased to announce that Danny Boyle (‘Trainspotting’, ‘T2’, ‘Sunshine’, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’) has joined the feature production ‘Creation Stories’ as Executive Producer. Penned by the acclaimed novelist Irvine Welsh (‘Trainspotting’, ‘Filth’, ‘Porno’, ‘Blade Artist’) and based on music mogul Alan McGee\u2019s autobiography, ‘The Creation Records Story: Riots, Raves and Running a Label’.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/ins><\/p>\n

New additions to the cast include British talents\u00a0Rupert Everett\u00a0(‘The Happy Prince’, ‘My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding’),\u00a0Suki Waterhouse\u00a0(‘Assassination Nation’, ‘Charlie Says’) and\u00a0Jason Flemyng\u00a0(‘Lock Stock’, ‘Snatch’).\u00a0Ewen Bremner\u00a0(‘Trainspotting’, ‘T2’, ‘Wonder Woman’, ‘Black Hawk Down’) will be using his unquestionable talents to take on the lead role of Alan McGee. Bremner is best known for his iconic character \u201cSpud\u201d in Boyle\u2019s ‘Trainspotting’.<\/p>\n

‘Creation Stories’ tells the unforgettable tale of infamous record label head, Alan McGee. His label, Creation Records launched iconic bands such as Oasis, Primal Scream and The Jesus & Mary Chain; standing at the forefront of the Britpop movement, and selling over 60 million records worldwide. It\u2019s a story of relentless ambition, mental torment, drugs, bankruptcy,\u00a0unfathomable wealth, courting politicians and of how one written-off young Glaswegian upstart rose to irrevocably change the face of British culture.<\/p>\n

Cult figure Irvine Welsh is the best-selling author of a number of critically-acclaimed novels. Irvine has penned the screenplay with writing partner Dean Cavanagh. Their close relationship with McGee,\u00a0and first-hand experience of Creation Records\u2019 trials and triumphs,\u00a0make the team perfectly positioned to bring the story of the label head\u2019s dizzying highs and lows to the big screen.<\/p>\n

Multi award-winning director, Danny Boyle, famed for international blockbusters such as eight Oscar winner ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and cult classic ‘Trainspotting’ has joined the production to offer creative support to the team as Executive Producer. Orian Williams (‘Big Sur’, ‘My Father Die’) will also be producing.<\/p>\n

Nick Moran, best known for his role in ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and directing of ‘Telstar: The Story of Joe Meek’ and ‘The Kid’,\u00a0shall be directing the production and working alongside Boyle to create a snapshot of a multi generation spanning record label and the British culture which it created.<\/p>\n

Welsh says,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been lucky to work with both Danny and Nick over the years and to have the two of them together on this project, along with Ewen, feels like a lottery win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Director Nick Moran says,<\/p>\n

\n

“Working as a team with Danny on this film is a dream. He is a visionary, the most important British film-maker since Tony Richardson, rightly regarded as one of the best directors in the world today and one of the most successful. He is also the kindest and most open of people and a cornucopia practical knowledge and wisdom.\u00a0 One of the nicest people you could ever meet. The last time him and Irvine worked together they changed the world of cinema. Who wouldn’t be excited to be part of that team!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Casting Director and Producer Dan Hubbard is taking care of all casting for\u00a0the feature, and plans to put together a strong creative ensemble of British talent.<\/p>\n

Metro International are leading all worldwide sales.<\/p>\n

The production has commenced prep and will be shooting in London late May 2019.<\/p>\n
