"ALL THE SINNERS BLEED" STARTS PRODUCTION IN ATLANTA

Today, Netflix, Higher Ground and Amblin Television announced that All the Sinners Bleed, a new series adaptation of S.A. Cosby's propulsive thriller novel of the same name, has begun production in Atlanta, Georgia.

Quotes from Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer/Director Joe Robert Cole as told to TUDUM:

Why did you want to adapt All the Sinners Bleed?

"I immediately fell in love with the book and knew I wanted to be a part of breathing life into its beautifully unnerving narrative. The specificity of the world S.A. created truly swept me away, and Titus Crown seized my heart."

What excited you about telling this story?

"I'm a huge lover of serial killer films and television shows. I've always been fascinated with the lighter and darker halves of who we are as people and which side wins within us. I felt like this story offered an opportunity to explore those ideas through a uniquely complex lens with thrilling human stakes."

How are you feeling about starting production on the series in Atlanta?

"I love it. Atlanta offers an absolutely outstanding crew base, production facilities and specifically for us, the surrounding communities necessary to authentically build the world of our particular series."

Quotes from Author/Executive Producer S.A. Cosby as told to TUDUM:

All the Sinners Bleed is the first of your books that's been adapted for the screen. How are you feeling about that as the series starts production in Atlanta?

"I'm incredibly excited as we stand on the precipice of starting this amazing journey, and I'm also incredibly honored that Netflix, Higher Ground, and Amblin believe in my work and have given me the greatest opportunity a writer can have - to see your world made real."

What makes Joe Robert Cole the right person to adapt All the Sinners Bleed?

"Man, Joe just GETS IT. He is an artist who understands the small nuances and the sweeping ideals I tried to articulate in my book. I can't think of a better person to tell the story of Titus Crown."

What's been your reaction to what you've read in the scripts so far?

"It's fascinating to me how the writers have been able to make Charon County and Titus feel real in a way that isn't saccharine or pedantic. It truly has blown me away."
