According to foreign media reports, the superhero miniseries "The Man on the Edge of Time" starring Benedict Cumberbatch will start filming in London next year. The film will be directed by Tomas Alfredson, written by D.C. Moore, and Benny and his company SunnyMarch will also participate in the production.
Based on the novel of the same name by Matt Haig, the play was released on July 5, 2017. Long before the release, Benny obtained the film and television adaptation rights of the novel. At that time, it was said that it would be adapted into a movie. As a result, 6 years later, the project has been confirmed to be a 6-episode TV series.
Benny plays a man who is slowly aging due to a rare disease. Although he looks only 41 years old, he has actually lived for centuries. His birthday is March 3, 1581, and the story of how he's been living for hundreds of years, constantly losing loved ones. Changing his identity this time, he decided to return to London. He promised his dead wife to find his daughter—if she had the same constitution, she might still be alive.
