Based on a quartet of novels by David Peace and originally run as a miniseries on TV in England, Red Riding is an extensive tale. The books (and films) are fictionalized accounts of the investigation into the Yorkshire Ripper, a brutal serial killer that stalked the Yorkshire area of England in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
The three films span a decade, weaving in their plots and picking up characters and stories while not quite telling a straight ahead story; instead the trilogy is like the ripples that come from the impact of the murder of a young girl in 1974, with the ripple spreading out for ten years.

The three films - titled Nineteen Seventy-Four, Nineteen Eighty and Nineteen Eighty-Three were adapted for the screen by Tony Grisoni (Tideland and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).

The three films are due to be released theatrically in the US in February 2010.
Each boasts a stellar British cast that includes Andrew Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus), Sean Bean (Lord of The Rings), Paddy Considine (Dead Man's Shoes), Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), and Peter Mullan (Trainspotting). The Red Riding trilogy screened at the Telluride and New York film festivals and will open in New York on Friday, February 5 at the IFC Center, with a national release to follow. It will simultaneously be available on IFC Films’ video on demand platform, available to over 50 million homes in all major markets.
Columbia Pictures also acquired the rights to adapt the novels and films into a full theatrical version. The studio was negotiating with Ridley Scott in October 2009 to direct it (http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52725&highlight=Riding).
