Alessio Liguori is to direct “Moriarty Rising: A Sherlock Holmes Tale” in Turin, Italy. The project, written by Oliver Draiv, explores the origins of Sherlock Holmes’ greatest adversary against the backdrop of modern-day Turin.

“Moriarty Rising” is a “dual-format” production, meaning it will function both as a premium vertical series and a standalone feature film.

It is produced by Former Prodigy Media, the production company led by Christopher Knight, who starred in “The Brady Bunch,” and two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer Phil Viardo, feature film producer Rob McGillivray of Tip-Top Productions, and executive producer Jonathan Miller of Alation Media.
