Casting is due to start in the near future for a new film based on a book by Glasgow author and former gangster Paul Ferris and the late crime writer and former journalist Reg McKay.
The shoot for the film version of 'Villains: It Takes One to Know One' is due to take place in 2021, with actors sought from all over the UK - including Glasgow - to star in it.
A synopsis for the book, which was originally published in 2006, sees Ferris reveal "the inside story of notorious villains by one of their own" and recount "the stories of a tough existence that nobody knows better...from the underbellies of London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester and beyond".
Ferris announced news of the upcoming film on Twitter at the weekend.
He tweeted: "A new film based on my book - Villains: It Takes One to Know One... Is the new project for 2021. Funding has now been secured - casting will start soon. Actors from Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool or London - get your CV's ready. More to follow."
It won't be the first time Paul Ferris will be involved in the movie industry, after a film based on his life - The Wee Man starring Martin Compston and John Hannah - was released back in 2013.
