Yes it could be true, talks are on going with a Hollywood producer to potentially make a film.

Is there nothing these people will stoop to? They almost seem to crave the attention. Why can they not just bear their loss like many others have to with dignity?

And what sort of film are we to expect? Not exactly going to be a thrilling story line with an unexpected ending is it

It beggers belief,it really does.......

Oh, their reason for it is it will increase awareness and may lead to finding her- as if we weren't aware enough

[sim667]

there could be a computer game too! j/k

[Singh400]

They refused IIRC.

[WibXL]

According to whatever I saw it on this morning it's going to be a documentary for the TV rather than a movie.

[Daddy k]

wow they really like bragging they leave their children unattended and locked up alone dont they!

[dakara]

Concerning the McCann couple, I think that this stinks to high heaven, just like their explanation of events on the night of the poor child's demise.
They left her unattended to pursue their selfish pleasures, and whether they actually killed her or not, they are responsible for her fate.
I wish these two evil people the worst possible fortune.
May they rot in Hell.

Or maybe not

The parents of Madeleine McCann have denied reports they are backing plans to make a movie about their daughter's disappearance.

The couple's spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, confirmed he had met a major entertainment firm that wants to make a film about their story.

But Gerry McCann said on his website that he and his wife Kate had no plans for a movie about Madeleine.

The very fact they actually have a "Spokeman" makes me seeth. Who do they think they are royalty?

And why would he say something that they have not agreed, serves them right if you ask me.

[RMCF]

Well they may be denying it but C4 news last night had a statement from the company that made 'Touching the Void' saying that they had been contacted by the McCanns or 'their people' about the possibility of making a documentary about the little girl.

I too am also getting just a little fed up with this story. I know that may sound callous, but its just the never ending front pages on the tabloids saying that they know where she is, that she will be home for Xmas, that she is definitely dead, that she id definitely alive, that she's in Africa etc etc etc.

I agree that the McCann's are getting too much leeway - they did wrong and must face up to this.

But the way its all going seems to be annoying a lot of people - even those that I knew who seemed to worry about Maddy don't seem to care any more.

And for the record, I always thought there was something very sus about the whole incident.

Agreed. Something very sinister.

But we'll never know because of the incompetence of the Portugeuse police, not securing the crime scene at first and by not arresting them on suspision straight away, as UK police do as in that childrens BBC presenters murder.

It really would be a story if she did get prosecuted and sent down for having a hand in affair!

[buzlightyear]

dont worry the book will be out soon.

I still dont get why this couple have got the attention they have. Its a sad fact but alot of children go missing every year but dont get this kind of coverage, children that go missing through no fault of the parents dont get this kind of money or help, but parents that leave there children on their own to go and eat with friends get all the help in the world, in this documentry will it highlight the fact that they left their children alone and should be done for neglet

[Mr_Wistles]

I still can't believe they have been allowed to keep their other kids throughout all of this.

I think that just about sums up the view of most fair-minded folk. It wouldn't surprise me if they next replace that Clarence bloke (ex-BBC) with Max Clifford

Because they have lots and lots of money.

The one positive thing to come out of it, is that it has highlighted the plight of others who've lost a child. However, if it is allowed to drag on much longer it will (and some of the posts show it already has) switch people off again.

[Daddy k]

roll on the day their other kids get old enough to ask serious questions like " so you left us and maddie alone on holiday and thats why she is no longer here, and is only down to luck that we all wasnt snatched"

That does not make it right though does it (I know you never said that, just wanted to point that out that's all).

What about the other thousands of children that go missing whose parents don't have lots of money. If the McCann's were being seen to champion their cause it would be something but they don't. No they just seem to crave the attention. Where did they get all their money from by the way? From what I have heard they used money from funds donated by the generous public to help FIND Maddie, to pay their sodding mortgage, I for one find that completely outrageous. I know they both have good jobs so why not pay their mortgage out their own pockets?

I agree with other people on this forum that seem to think something sinister is going on with these two. I also believe that they should face the consequences for leaving these children unattended which led to Maddie being taken in the first place.

[Eddy.]

Evil, sick individuals.

They have always seemed dodgy to me. Especially the father. For all their "suffering" and "pain" they have showed about as much emotion as Optimus Prime.

[brendan_dj]

How many people will believe a movie of a missing-child case which will be based on the testimony of the two prime suspects?

Who said that Madeleine was "taken"?


There are only two people on this planet who know where Madeleine is.

[DJT75]

Might be quite good with a Hollywood Spin on it...

Britney Spears - as Kate McCann
Jim Carey - as Gerry McCann
Herbie - as 'The Car'
Marilyn Manson - as Robert Murat
*Starring 'The Chuckle Brothers' - as Detective Jorge Lopez & Lieutenant Javier Alvarez

Regarding the topic - I couldn't give a **** anymore. I know it sounds harsh, but hundreds of kids go missing everyday - and I mean really missing.

[Mr_Wistles]

I think he is referring to Prime's reaction to the death of his number 1, Jazz.

Oh right, guess I stand corrected or something.

Awesome reply by the way lol.

This story about the movie may just be another way of getting another front page headline to promote their fund raising. I also agree that the McCanns have done nothing to deliberitly highlight the plight of other missing children, i have never heard them one refer to others who have really lost children!!

i can't warm to these people at all and i also agree that they deserve to be brought before the courts for at least child neglect !!

I guess it's not going to be called "Home Alone"

I mentioned prime cos he's a robot and robots don't show emotion, but you put a better spin on it.

[geomuss]

From outset of the tragedy.

I have never once felt any warmth or compassion towards the McCanns.
I am Astounded that a family of seemingly Intellectuals can bugger off out and leave 3 kids in a Hotel room in a foreign country.
How many other times had they done that before?
Did the others that were with them not to do the same with their kids?

They put their friends and having a good time before their family, they are a disgrace IMO

[Miyazaki]

What a backlash!

If the film story is true, then there are several people involved who are exploiting the memory of a murdered (and god knows what else) child. Which makes them as bad as whoever murdered the little girl.

Anyone who sees the film is responsible for her death as well IMO.
