John Niven's music novel Kill Your Friends to be adapted into film

Kill Your Friends, John Niven’s 2008 novel based on the inner workings of the music industry, is set to experience a film adaptation, with shooting starting next month.

The Scottish writer revealed the news earlier today via Twitter, also confirming that Misfits and Black Mirror director Owen Harris will be helming the project.

Full details about the movie are yet to be confirmed, but Niven has added that Skins actor Nicholas Holt will star in the lead role of Steven Stelfox (a character who has been compared to American Psycho‘s Patrick Bateman).
