The Runaway by Martina Cole coming to the small screen
As I reported back in August of last year The Runaway was being adapted for television and there was not much to report other than the fact it was going to happen.
News on the production went very quiet soon after the announcement and there were rumours that Martina Cole may have not been happy with parts of the adaptation.
However I am now pleased to have found out that filming is going ahead. The production will be handled by Company Pictures who previously were responsible for The Take which aired last year.
Filming is taking place in South Africa and Alan Cumming, Burn Gorman, Jack O’Connell, Jo Van Der Ham and Max Irons are some of the cast known at the moment.
The drama will air as a six part mini-series on Sky1 in the Autumn.

I’m so happy that this is being produced. I have the runaway twice already and its so good. I hope the screen adaptation will be as good as the book. although i do wonder how they are goin to reproduce New York and SoHo in South Africa =)
