Guitar legend Slash has joined the creative team behind forthcoming Paramount+ UK & Ireland drama series The Crow Girl, currently filming in Bristol with support from our Film Office team.
Already an Executive Producer on the series, Slash joins composer Adam Price (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1, Black Adam) in contributing to the soundtrack for The Crow Girl, which is produced by Buccaneer, the UK-based international content production company behind Irvine Welsh’s Crime, Marcella, and Whitstable Pearl.
The Guns N’ Roses icon took time out to visit the full crew on location in Bristol recently. Our thanks to Producer Andy Mosse who shared this photo of Slash’s visit. Andy says; “He visited our Police HQ set in Bristol and it was a great pleasure to have him with us, what a gent. He’s been watching all our rushes and was hugely complimentary about the show and our exceptionally talented crew who are bringing it to life. It was fun watching the team try to remain calm and professional whilst we had rock royalty on set… they did, but there were clearly some superfans!”
The Crow Girl (6 x 60”) is a multi-faceted and contemporary psychological thriller featuring a cast that includes Eve Myles (Hijack, Broadchurch, A Very English Scandal), Katherine Kelly (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Liar, Inside No.9) and Dougray Scott (Irvine Welsh’s Crime, Vigil), and is adapted from the #1 international bestselling trilogy of novels by Erik Axl Sund, published in 38 languages.
I fell in love with Erik Axl Sund’s novel THE CROW GIRL and was really excited to partner with Buccaneer to produce it. There’s an amazing cast and crew working hard to bring the harrowingly dark and suspenseful story to life as a limited series. It looks amazing!
Slash
Working with Slash has been a privilege. He knew Erik Axl Sund’s powerhouse of a trilogy before we did, and he brings an amazing insight to it. Working with an artist of such standing from the music world has brought a fresh perspective to the project and has massively elevated the work.
