The movie is titled \'Pace\' and is based on true events, and the pair have written and directed the feature.

Danny - who is up for the Serial Drama Performance accolade at this year\'s National Television Awards - recently tweeted: "Directing my first short end of the month and no place like Twitter to update, tease but above all, bore everyone with updates.

"Our lead has just confirmed and my Gosh I\'m flawed they said yes. Experienced, northern, lovely and most importantly... BLOODY GOOD! (sic)"
