The move coincides with the 30th-anniversary celebrations of the release of Rankin\u2019s first novel featuring the detective. The best-selling <em>Rebus<\/em> series has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>For Eleventh Hour, this flagship drama is the first announcement to launch the new TV drama slate driven out of Scotland as overseen by the company\u2019s recently appointed head of development, Mike Ellen.<\/p>\n<p>Rankin said: \u201cI&#8217;m so thrilled and honored that Gregory Burke is bringing his outstanding storytelling talent to <em>Rebus<\/em>. As far as I&#8217;m concerned it&#8217;s the perfect match, allowing the character of John Rebus to emerge in all his complex three-dimensional glory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Burke added: &#8220;It is an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to work on adapting an iconic character like John Rebus for television. As someone who has grown up and lives in South East Scotland, Ian Rankin&#8217;s best-selling books provide the perfect material to make a thrilling series about crime in the modern world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producer Jill Green commented: \u201cWe approached Greg because we knew he would do something really different and characterful. This will be a fresh and revisionist take in every way introducing both <em>Rebus<\/em> and Edinburgh to a new generation, at a moment where crime drama is at its most exciting level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eleventh Hour Films has secured the rights to the complete catalog of Ian Rankin\u2019s Rebus detective novels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1432,1854,1855],"class_list":["post-7722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-eleventh-hour-films","tag-ian-rankin","tag-rebus","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
