Sigurjón Sighvatsson framleiðir þætti byggða á bókum Yrsu Sigurðardóttur

Sigurjón Sighvatsson kvikmyndaframleiðandi hyggst gera fimm þátta sjónvarpsseríu eftir sakamálasögum Yrsu Sigurðardóttur um lögmanninn Þóru. Sigurjón hefur fengið til liðs við sig danska leikstjórann Kathrine Windfeld, sem stýrt hefur þáttum úr þáttaröðunum Glæpurinn, Brúin og Wallander. Þættirnir yrðu á ensku, en teknir upp á Íslandi. Sigurjón telur það kosta einn og hálfan milljarð króna að framleiða fimm þátta röð. Hann vonast til að tökur geti hafist næsta haust.

Þá má og geta þess að Sigurjón hefur tryggt sér réttinn að öðrum bókum Yrsu, Ég man þig og Kuldi. Óskar Þór Axelsson (Svartur á leik) hefur verið orðaður við leikstjórn fyrrnefnda verkefnisins en ekki er vitað hvenær það fer af stað.

„Þetta var mikið áfall. Mjög mikið,“ segir Sigurjón Sighvatsson einn af umsvifamestu kvikmyndaframleiðendum Íslands. Sigurjón hefur notið mikillar velgengi í starfi undanfarna áratugi og komið að gerða fjölda stórra Hollywood kvikmynda. Hann hefur þó sloppið við áföll í einkalífinu en hann gekk í gegnum gríðarlega erfiðan tíma árið þegar eldri bróðir hans, Karl J. Sighvatsson tónlistarmaður lést af slysförum.

Það var árið sem að Karl lét lífið í hörmulegu slysi á Hellisheiði, en hann var aðeins rúmlega fertugur að aldri. Karl er einn þekktasti Hammond-orgelleikari íslenskrar tónlistarsögu og lék með fjölda hljómsveita á sjöunda og áttunda áratugnum, þar á meðal Tónum, Dátum, Flowers og Trúbrot. Í viðtali við sjónvarpsþáttinn Mannamál sem sýndur er á Hringbraut í kvöld rifjar Sigurjón meðal annars upp þá stund þegar hann fékk fréttirnar af andláti Karls „Kalla“ bróður síns.

„Ég man alveg eftir því. Maður bara trúði því ekki. Það var nágranni sem þurfti að hringja í mig af því að við vorum erlendis. Það var mjög þungbært. Eins og ég segi, ég bara hreinilega trúði þessu ekki,“ segir Sigurjón. Hann líkir bróðurmissinum við það að missa hluta af sjá
