A new movie on Creation, the label behind My Bloody Valentine, Oasis, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Slowdive, Primal Scream, and dozens more artists, is in the works. Danny Boyle will executive-produce Creation Stories and Irvine Welsh and Dean Cavanagh are the screenwriters, Deadline reports. Nick Moran, who has helmed Telstar: The Story of Joe Meek and The Kid, will direct the film, which is based on founder Alan McGee’s memoir The Creation Records Story: Riots, Raves and Running a Label. Also starring are Rupert Everett (My Best Friend’s Wedding), Suki Waterhouse (Assassination Nation), and Jason Fleming (Snatch). In the lead role, Ewen Bremner—Spud in Trainspotting—plays McGee.

Boyle and Welsh famously teamed up on the original Trainspotting, with Boyle directing the adaptation of Welsh’s novel. Welsh said of Creation Stories, “I’ve been lucky to work with both Danny and Nick over the years and to have the two of them together on this project, along with Ewen, feels like a lottery win.” Shooting begins in London next month.
