Richard Osman teases Thursday Murder Club movie release window
Richard Osman has teased a release window for The Thursday Murder Club movie.
The gameshow and podcast host appeared on Saturday Kitchen this weekend to talk about his latest book We Solve Murders, and spoke a little bit about the big-screen adaptation of his debut novel.
Speaking to host Matt Tebbutt, Osman explained that he currently doesn't know an exact release date, but has an inkling of a time frame at least.
"Chris Columbus is editing it right now. So it should be next year, I would think," he explained. "That's cinemas and then, then on Netflix straight after that.
"So I would think next summer, next autumn? I would guess, but I don't know for sure."
Osman also stated that he wanted his fifth novel in the Thursday Murder Club series to be out in the spring of next year, as long as things go well.
He's already started writing the book, which he said will contain a little meta in-joke about the Thursday Murder Club movie.
The Thursday Murder Club has assembled a strong cast, including Helen Mirren and Sir Ben Kingsley, while the legendary Steven Spielberg served as a producer.
Osman recalled how the Jaws and West Side Story filmmaker visited the set, and left him completely starstruck.
"We just had that incredible presence. There's certain people you meet where you go, 'Oh my god, you're Steven Spielberg'. It was so lovely seeing even the other actors were excited to be around him," he explained.
"I was able to say right at the end, 'Thank you for everything you do and the joy that you've brought the world'. I left it at that. I never need to say another word because I just said thank you," Osman added revealed.
"If you think about how he has entertained us, the joy he's brought, the stories he's told us, the tears we've shed because of him, it's nice to be able to stand there, shake his hand and say thank you."
The Thursday Murder Club movie will be released next year in cinemas before hitting Netflix.
