The cast includes Rupert Everett, Suki Waterhouse and Jason Flemyng. Irvine Welsh and Dean Cavanagh wrote the screenplay, based on McGee’s autobiography, The Creation Records Story: Riots, Raves and Running a Label. Burning Wheel Productions that is bankrolling Creation Stories in a statement said, “It’s a story of relentless ambition, mental torment, drugs, bankruptcy, unfathomable wealth, courting politicians and of how one written-off young Glaswegian upstart rose to irrevocably change the face of British culture.” Boyle directed 1996 film Trainspotting, which was based on Welsh’s 1993 novel of the same name. Ewen Bremner, who starred as Spud in Trainspotting, will take on the role of McGee in the new project. The film, which starts shooting in late May in London, is being produced by casting director Dan Hubbard. Boyle’s upcoming release includes the musical comedy _Yesterday_, starring Himesh Patel and Lily James. (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
