EXCLUSIVE: Bulletproof co-creator and The Football Factory director Nick Love has set his sights on his latest crime caper — a gangster series for Sky that has echoes of his 2005 Danny Dyer film The Business. Deadline hears that Love is returning to the world of the 1980s crime wave in Spain’s Costa del Sol for the drama, which is working titled A Town Called Malice in an apparent nod to The Jam’s hit 1982 single of the same name. The project is housed at Bulletproof and Britannia producer Vertigo Films and a writers’ room has been developing the series for Comcast-owned Sky, although it has not yet been formally greenlit. Producers are hoping to shoot in the summer. During the 1980s, the Costa del Sol became known as the Costa del Crime because a colorful array of British gangsters took up residence on its sun-soaked shores, thanks to the absence of an extradition treaty between the UK and Spain from 1978 to 1985.
