Madeleine the movie: McCanns in talks over missing daughter's story

The McCanns are set to turn the story of their daughter into a film.

Kate and Gerry are in negotiations with the world's largest talent and entertainment agency, IMG, in a deal which could be worth millions.


The money would help fund the search for Madeleine amid fears that the £1.2million raised from public donations will soon run out.


A source close to the McCanns said: "We would only get involved with something done sensitively and considerately."


If a deal is done with IMG, it would involve using the same team that made Touching The Void, an award-winning drama-documentary about the fight for survival of two British climbers lost on a mountain.

The couple are also considering a book deal and selling interviews to television broadcasters with all proceeds going to the Madeleine Fund, the body set up to finance the search for the girl.

Madeleine was six days short of her fourth birthday when she vanished from her bed in the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3.


The film project will be discussed at a meeting of the fund's directors, including Gerry, tomorrow night at the McCanns' home in Rothley, Leicestershire.


The Madeleine Fund is committed to spending £50,000 a month on a Spanish private detective agency. It is also paying for a poster and television advertising campaign in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, where there have been several alleged sightings.

Estimates suggest at least £500,000 has already been spent.


A source close to the McCann family said: "Donations from the public are still coming in but to sustain the fund properly, we will need larger amounts.


"If the media are prepared to make donations, we will take the money. There are a few propositions out there.

"We have had a couple of large companies involved in the film industry approach us about a long-term deal. IMG and the production company behind Touching The Void have approached Kate and Gerry. They have sent them a tape to watch to see the sort of film they make. We have only had a preliminary discussion."

This really is getting disgusting now. Didn't another filmmaker drop their nearly complete film due to this situation as they thought it would be insensitive? They should just finish theirs and release it a couple of months before the McCanns so no one gives a shit about watching the same story line again.

I hope this is meant to be a joke... either way its not funny.

I wonder how many peoples lives could have actually been saved with that kind of money.
I think its gonna cost a lot more than that to bring back the dead.

Lets see if the cunts donate their cut to a charity for missing children ??

the movie baby gone baby has only just been released due to that i think.


i fail to see how throwing more money at this is going to change things, She's been dead months now, the only mystery to the situation is how the parents are involved.

[Zippeyrude]

the irony of gone baby gone being pulled from UK cinemas because of the McCanns and now they want book and film deals. its a fucking disgusting way to go about raising 'funds'.

the term 'media circus' used to describe their antics is just way too short of the mark. they should be ashamed of what they are doing, or even better locked up for their sheer parental incompetence, let alone try and portray themselves as victims.

fucking disgrace i tell thee

Fuck me she's in france !!!!!

[ant3b]

This is sick in my view.. making profit off a person who is missing....!! just plain sick the bastards (pardon my french)

[FireBlade]

If this is real its an absolute disgrace and those 2 fuckers deserve shooting in the head. How many kids were murdered in Kenya this week? Does the media give a shit?? Do they fuck.

[-G-Man-]

i wonder what the ending will be??

Spoiler:

the parents did it.

[rookie]

i personally think the parents should be tried in this country for child abuse.
what parent leaves there children home on the own in a different country.
even if she didnt get kidnapped the kids could have hurt them selves.

i feel sorry for poor madeline, with 2 selfish cunt parents like them to.

im sorry gerry and kate should have the other two kids they have taken from them.
if they wernt doctors or from so called middle class. they wood be hate figures

[Over Carl]

And like i've said many times before, any proceeds of crime (i.e. the money) can then be recovered from them.

WIll be different social services for different councils. Procedure is to find the number, call up and tell 'em you want to make a referral and then they ask why......

Edit: Just thought, if someone could run our ideas past someone who actually knows the laws inside out, and if what we are saying is right, why not create a petition on the 10 downing st site?

Sad thing is social services spoke to them virtually as soon as they got back so the system didn't miss them out, but god knows why no action was taken. From what I've seen, at the very least their other two children should have been removed from them whilst a child protection inquiry is carried out, but for some reason I don't think this happened.

[rookie]

Thing is m8 they have money or they did have.
wot riles me is if this was a lower class person or someone on
benifits that done this there wood be uproar.

the mccans must have a very good PR team.

[-AMO-]

Did the mccans ever undergo a lie detector test? If not, why not.

[B B Leo]

couldnt they wait until she atleast turned up/??
