Bid to bring Scots classic to big screen

IT is one of the dark classics of Scottish literature, a seminal evocation of evil that has influenced writers and authors for decades, but has never been made into a major film.

FUNDING: Producer Gillies Mackinnon seeks to raise £5m to finance a Justified Sinner movie.

Now the producer of Rob Roy and The Flying Scotsman, Peter Broughan, and the director of Small Faces and Regeneration, Gillies Mackinnon, are teaming up to bring James Hogg's The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner to the big screen.
