The McCanns are in negotiations
to make a blockbuster film about their experiences over the search for their
missing daughter Madeleine, according to reports. Talks with the world's
largest talent and entertainment agency IMG are to take place tomorrow in what
could be a multi-million deal, according to the Evening Standard.
Kate and Gerry McCann
feel they are in need of extra money amid fears as the £1.2m raised from public
donations for the Madeleine Fund will soon run out.
A source close to the
McCanns told the paper: "We would only get involved in something done
sensitively and considerately."
The couple are also
considering a book deal and selling interviews to the media, with all cash
going to the fund.
Madeleine, four, vanished
from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal,
on May 3.
A source told the paper:
“Donations from the public are still coming in but to sustain the fund properly
we will need larger amounts. We have had a couple of large companies involved
in the film industry approach us about a deal.
“IMG and the production
company behind Touching The Void have approached Kate and Gerry.”
In a statement, Darlow
Smithson Productions, a production company owned by IMG, said: "Darlow
Smithson had a preliminary meeting with representatives of the McCanns about
the possibility of an observational documentary following the ongoing search
for Madeleine.
"Discussions are still at a very early stage and the issue of money has
never been raised." |
