Filth centers on Bruce Robertson (McAvoy), a sex-obsessed, cocaine-addicted, bigoted Scottish police officer who is supposed to be investigating a murder but gets sidetracked by his own peculiarities, worries and hangups.
According to Welsh, Jon S. Baird (Cass) will direct, with filming scheduled to start early next year.
