The “Ripper Street” actor will play Patrick Hazelwood in the upcoming movie opposite the former One Direction singer as Tom Burgess, the titular cop, and Emma Corrin as Tom’s wife Marion.
The movie is based on Bethan Roberts’ 2012 novel and begins in the 1990s when the elderly invalid Patrick goes to the home of Tom and Marion, prompting a journey back in time to explore the sexual politics of the 1950s, a time when homosexuality was illegal.
And according to the Daily Mail newspaper’s Baz Bamigboye, bosses on the Amazon Films-backed picture – which will be directed by Michael Grandage – have hired Linus Roache to play the older Tom, alongside Rupert Everett as Patrick and Gina McKee as Marion.
