Silverprint Pictures Options TV Rights To Ann Cleeves’ ‘The Long Call’
Silverprint Pictures is staying in the Ann Cleeves business. After producing two previous adaptations of the author's novels in the form of BBC drama Shetland and ITV's long-running Vera, the indie has optioned TV rights to The Long Call - the opening novel in a new series by Ann Cleeves. “I’m delighted that the team at Silverprint has optioned The Long Call", author Ann Cleeves said in a statement. "The adaptations of Vera and Shetland have captured the essence of my books, while making TV dramas that are hugely successful in their own right.”
