Production
Development
It was adapted from a short film entitled A Night at Robert McAlister’s. In 2009, the film premiered on Hollywood Boulevard for an audience of music and film industry personnel,[5] including cast members of American television series Heroes.[6] The short went on to win several awards at the Hoboken International Film Festival,[7] as well as featuring at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.[8][9]
In November 2011, Screen Daily announced The Paddy Lincoln Gang alongside Anne Fontaine's Adore as upcoming 'hot projects'.[10] While Variety were the first major outlet to reveal Sex Pistols founding-member Glen Matlock's involvement in the project.[11]
Filming
The film was shot in various locations including Leeds and London, United Kingdom. Incorporating the original short film with new footage, the feature length draws non-sequential editing inspiration from Steven Soderbergh's crime film The Limey.[12]
A docudrama scene was filmed backstage at a live festival performance from The Faces. Improvised between Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and lead actor Dean S. Jagger.[12]
