Following the phenomenal popularity of Adolescence, Jack Thorne hinted that his upcoming production, The Hack on ITV, might share more resemblance with Netflix series than initially presumed.
In the timeframe spanning from 2002 to 2012, an approaching dramatic narrative unfolds around the phone-tapping scandal. The central character, portrayed by David Tennant, is none other than Nick Davies – a fearless journalist who relentlessly pursued uncovering the truth.
We’ve deliberately chosen an unconventional approach to narrating the story, similar to how Adolescence did.”
By using words like “deliberately” and “unconventional,” we convey that the choices made were intentional and not by chance. The phrase “an approach to narrating the story” is also more natural and easier to read than the original sentence’s use of the passive voice (“We’ve taken some risks in how we tell the story”). Finally, the last part of the paraphrased sentence references Adolescence’s risk-taking with its storytelling style, which helps readers understand the comparison being made.
Instead of presenting our show in a traditional manner, I believe the audience craves something fresh and unorthodox. It might just be my gut feeling, but it seems to me that this is what the public wants at the moment.
He stated, “The Hack serves as a tribute to journalism. It doesn’t imply criticizing journalism. Instead, it showcases exceptional journalists collaborating effectively.
Simultaneously, Thorne couldn’t help but commend the work of director Lewis Arnold and lead actor Tennant, who had previously collaborated on the 2020 miniseries Des. Thorne expressed, “Recently, I watched some behind-the-scenes footage, people discussing the show, and one actor after another is expressing, ‘I took part in this production for Lewis.’
When discussing the risks the show took in its narrative, Thorne commented on how impressive it was that Lewis managed to keep everything coherent across all seven episodes. He also mentioned how exhausting it must have been for Lewis to direct all of them, and that the impact of his work on the show was truly remarkable.
He remarked that Lewis’s discussions with David were both rich and demanding, and it was a delightful sight to witness him eliciting such captivating performances from David.
While The Hack doesn’t yet have a release date, it’s due to air this autumn.
Amidst crafting captivating plays and collaborating with Sam Mendes, Jez Butterworth, and Peter Straughan on their Beatles film projects, Thorne simultaneously takes part in the management team for the Television Access Project (TAP).
The TAP project brings together ten major UK broadcasters and streaming platforms, who have collectively promised to make significant changes within the movie and television industry. Their goal is to improve opportunities for disabled individuals, not only as performers on screen but also as creators behind it.
Discussing the visible improvements brought about by TAP, Thorne noted with enthusiasm, “From my point of view, it’s truly thrilling to witness authors gaining the power to share their narratives, such as Billy Majors’ ‘Reunion’ and Kyla Harris’ ‘We Might Regret This.’
It’s inspiring to observe that platforms are being provided to voice the stories of disabled authors, as well as showcasing the talents of disabled individuals. This is an integral aspect of a remarkable movement, truly.
