If you have been a fan of the television series “Luther,” you’re surely in for a treat as Idris Elba takes on the lead role in “Luther: The Fallen Sun,” an epic continuation of the award-winning television saga reimagined for film. Nearly four years after last appearing as John Luther – and 13 years after the character first graced our screens – Idris is returning as the excellent but complicated detective in a film.
According to once the hottest man in the world, Idris says, ‘Luther: The Fallen Sun is a big-scale version of the TV show. You don’t need to have watched the previous seasons of the TV show Luther to enjoy the upcoming film, though we suspect it won’t do any harm to have watched them in order to get a proper feel for his complicated character.”
In the blockbuster film, a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective Luther (Idris) sits behind bars. Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him, Luther decides to break out of prison to finish the job by any means necessary. The film also stars Cynthia Erivo, Andy Serkis, and Dermot Crowley, who returns as Martin Schenk. “Luther: The Fallen Sun” hit theaters this past weekend.
