‘Pistol’ First Look: Danny Boyle Directs a New FX Series About the Sex Pistols
Posted on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021 by Chris Evangelista
Danny Boyle already took part in one FX series – Trust, which featured a cowboy-hatted Brendan Fraser breaking the fourth wall – and now he’s returned with Pistol. This six-episode limited series is about the iconic punk band the Sex Pistols – specifically Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. The series is based on Jones’s memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, and stars Toby Wallace (Babyteeth, Acute Misfortune) as Steve Jones, Anson Boon (Crawl, 1917, Blackbird) as John Lydon, Louis Partridge (Enola Homes, Medici) as Sid Vicious, and Jacob Slater as Paul Cook. The series has begun principal photography, which means we now have a Pistol first look image, which you can see below.
