He said: ‘It’s really dangerous when expanding from television to film to throw a lot of money at it, and for that moment to change the characteristics of the show.
‘I wanted to make sure that even though we had a bigger budget, we didn’t distort the parameters of Luther-land too much.’
Idris did not give away where the film will be set but did confirm that the new film will ‘break out’ of London.
‘We break out of the gritty streets of London, we take it outside of that a little bit,’ he shared.
He also serves as a producer on the film, which was directed by Jamie Payne and written by Neil Cross, and will also star the likes of Andy Serkis and Cynthia Erivo.
