An acclaimed independent film from the turn of the millennium is making an unexpected return, with a prequel series exploring the origins of its memorable characters.<\/p>\n

Sexy Beast is based on the darkly comic drama from the year 2000, which saw retired gangster Gal Dove (Ray Winstone) suffer an unwelcome visit from his former associate Don Logan (Ben Kingsley).<\/p>\n

In the reimagining, we meet a younger Gal and Don \u2013 played by James McArdle and Emun Elliott respectively \u2013 as they face an opportunity to take their small criminal enterprise to the next level.<\/p>\n

The Sexy Beast cast<\/a> features other familiar characters from the film, including Bad Sisters<\/a> star Sarah Greene as Gal\u2019s future wife, Deedee, and John Dagleish as his hapless friend, Aitch.<\/p>\n
