Coming up on three years old, but things take time in movies.

Aaronovitch signed a deal with Stolen Pictures, which is the outfit owned by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost!

This happened back in April '19, and Ben Aaronovitch is not fastidious about updating his blog as this is the most recent entry in it, but still - excellent news for fans of the work!

I highly recommend the books if you like funny police procedurals with a heavy twist of the supernatural. Think Harry Potter as a bi-racial copper being taught on-the-job by a grandfatherly figure who single-handedly fought off Panzers with magic.

His first case is when he first graduates from the academy and he's standing post to protect a crime scene in the middle of the night, in the rain, and someone calls him over saying he saw the killer. Except the witness is a ghost.

There's many books in the series, several have been turned into graphic novels. There's also some fantastic RoL fanfic on AO3!
