Product Information

Matilda is an upper middle class woman from a wealthy family. Her and her husband, Oliver, have two children. The son, who isn't present in the story, is a bit of a big success story which probably means a lot to this family as it seems there’s likely been pressure to be successful in this family. Their daughter, Lucia, who in worldly terms has been less successful and is very troubled. From when we first meet them in the car in the first scene, there is a lot of history and delicate references to the troubles that they’re bringing with them. Sian Reese-Williams as DI Maia Lincoln.

Her best scenes were always terrifying,” said Walker. “She was the bravest writer I knew, but she was also fun and funny, someone you always wanted to spend time with. I am heartbroken that she’s been taken from us so soon.” Bestselling crime writer Mo Hayder gives a lunchtime talk at Watford Library". Watford Observer. 20 March 2009 . Retrieved 29 July 2021. Mo Hayder is a great story-teller. Her plots are imaginative and original, her characters both compelling and convincing and her prose flows effortlessly. Her books always have the dark, brooding, creepy atmosphere that I love. I know I will enjoy her books. I know they will always be among the best crime novels produced in any given year. This role has been a challenge as you’re normally given a character and you explore who they are and how the story changes them. With this one, they go into such an extreme situation right at the beginning that they’re always in a nightmarish and extremist situation. So you don’t get to know Matilda as she might be on a day-to-day or casual basis. The Treatment' ('De Behandeling'): Montreal Review". The Hollywood Reporter. 29 August 2014 . Retrieved 29 July 2021.I'm not very good at knowing what other people are thinking, but I do know that you can see tragedy, real tragedy, sitting just inside a person's gaze. You can almost always see where a person has been if you look hard enough.” Minnet is a white,british and the Anchor-ferrers have no idea how he came to be given shch a name. There is nothing in any of the legal transcripts to suggest his heritage. I am so sad that my relationship with Hayder has come to an end! I have spent the last few months binge reading all her writing and now I don't know what to do with my life! As well as this, the actor has also starred in Misfits, The Dirt, Barbarians, Y Golau, and Vicious. Sacha Dhawan as Honey I was chatting to Megan during preparation and there are almost points where Honey gets so wrapped up in what he's doing that he could do something really dangerous and regret it. To get into all of that was a real joy.

We first meet Honey and Molina at the beginning of the series when they con their way into the Anchor-Ferrers home. It was great to play those scenes. When I was prepping for Honey, I wanted to make it clear that Molina and Honey are two different characters. Honey, unlike Molina, is very tidy, sharp and focused about making this job meticulous. That's his motivation - to complete it to the best of his ability. The stakes are so high because he's also he's got to fund his family but they’re of course kidnapping a family so there’s a lot of risks and things that could go wrong. Honey and Molina really are chalk and cheese but Molina is the only person Honey has and they’ve got to function together to get out alive. Century said Dunkel had started writing a new series under the name Theo Clare. The Book of Sand, set in an alternate universe, will be published in early 2022. Dunkel had taken four years to write the novel, and had described herself as “so happy to be writing fiction set in an entirely imaginative universe of my own creation”.Her books were astonishing and innovative,” said Gregory. “Clare was charming, entertaining, caustic and always great company. It was a privilege to work with her and an honour to have become her friend.” One of the things that was really important to me was to make sure that dynamic between Honey and Molina works. I've always wanted to work with Iwan because he's done such fantastic work on screen, theatre and in so many different genres too. Shortly before her death, she completed a new novel The Book of Sand, a speculative thriller written under the pseudonym Theo Clare, which was published in 2022. [17] Personal life [ edit ]

These are minor grumbles, though. On the whole, I’d thoroughly recommend Wolf and its author to anyone who enjoys dark, creepy and, at times, rather terrifying thrillers.Sacha Dhawan who plays Honey, says: "We first meet Honey and Molina at the beginning of the series when they con their way into the Anchor-Ferrers home.

Sacha Dhawan teams up with Rheon in the role of Honey, who turns up at the Anchor-Ferrers household with Molina.

I had an overwhelming sense of the lonliness of this city - a trillion souls in their bedrooms, high in the cliffs of windows. I thought of what was underneath it all - I thought of the electricty cables, steam, water, fire, subway trains and lava in the city's guts, the subterranean rumbling of trains and earthquakes. I thought of the dead souls from the war, concreted over.” Iwan and Sasha have fresh, young faces that are both charming and disarming. Therefore you invite them in and, without realising, you’re basically asking the devil in for a cup of tea because they are plausible as policemen, which is how they present themselves initially. By the time you start to ask questions, it's too late. Dhawan began his career appearing in ITV’s Out Of Sight and has since nabbed roles in Last Tango in Halifax, An Adventure in Space and Time, The Great, and Marvel series Iron Fist. year old Oliver Anchor-Ferrers has just been through surgery to replace his heart valves, and as he contemplates his wife, Matilda, and his adult daughter, Lucia, he also contemplates his own mortality. They’ve come to their beautiful Victorian home they’ve named The Turrets, high on a hill in the Mendips, so that Oliver can recover from his surgery. Lucia is brooding, as usual. It seems she’s never recovered fully since her ex-boyfriend was brutally murdered 14 years ago, not too far from The Turrets, actually, by a madman named Minnet Kable. When Matilda finds something near the house that calls to mind that long ago crime, she’s understandably terrified, and when two men show up, claiming to be police investigating the death of a nearby woman, all hell breaks loose in the Anchor-Ferrers household, calling up old crimes and new vendettas.The confluence of these events is where I thought the story missed its mark. It could have been a blood curdling thriller but instead turned out very ho-hum for me. The credibility factor again! WOLF has something for everyone, especially those who like a great crime thriller. It's got plenty of horror, plenty of crime and a lot of action. It's got great dilemmas, interpersonal relationships and lots of twists and turns - everything that you could want. WOLF is unique because the series follows two parallel, quite deep and complex cases. It manipulates time with one storyline happening faster than the other but the two gradually catch up with each other to meet in their final culmination. Some elements are quite fantastical and theatrical which juxtaposes against the grit, gore and the action. I think audiences are really going to enjoy it. We have never worked together before but we just hit it off and it's been great considering when you see them on screen they don't really like each other. Well, Honey doesn’t really like Molina at all. It’s been a real joy to play around and just explore these scenes. We had a bit of freedom to switch things up a little bit so there's been times when it's been unpredictable and instinctive and we both kind of just go along with it. Molina is a bit of a hapless criminal - he’s not the brightest, but he has some great ideas. He’s part of a double act with Honey, played by the brilliant Sacha Dhawan, who take the Anchor-Ferrers family hostage, although he’s probably not the ideal person for this job.
