Madeline Mccan storey to be made into a film

how stupid are some people, 'how could they make a film out of this' haha..

even though mccann has said its not true, the speculation was that it would be the guys who made touching the void, a excellent 'docudrama' about a real life event.

i assume it would have centred on the first few hours panic, the media scrum and the tabloiRAB constant theories obscuring the real case. it would make an excallent subject

anyone who thins they want to make money out of what happened is a tabloid believing moron. if you were them you would dop ANYTHING to keep the story at the forefront of the news..
 
they're trying to find their daughter. i think they would probably prefer to have her than 'all the press'

any money is being used to keep looking, they are hardly spending it on cars and furs.

comments like this make me wince
 
Nice of you have the money, nice if you are special enough for the movie companies to offer you the chance of a movie. Not many parents have been lucky enough to have had that opportunity. Me, I'd want to keep the story in the papers for as long as I could, I agree with you. I would not however decide to turn the tragic disappearance into a movie. I feel this would be cheapening to my child's disappearance.
 
Going by statements made regularly by both of the McCann's , we are not dealing with your average couple.

Most couples dont choose drinking with occasional acquaintences over the safety of their 3 children.

Most couples wouldn't be cold and almost emotionless when dealing with what the McCann's have.

My point being , we are not dealing with "mainstream parenting" here and so I and others , would feel they could be capable of anything.
 
'occasional acquaintances over the safety of their 3 children'??? i'm sorry but that's just a tabloid mentality. they thought their children would be safe. and they weren't. people should stop judging them, it's disgusting.

and as for being 'cold'??? how on earth do you know what they are gooing through? how would constantly crying when they're giving press conferences and snivveling when dealing with the press help, when they are trying to get facts or information across??

do you want them to be emotional wrecks? - they are trying to find their daughter (however misguided that may seem to some of us, assuming she is now dead). playing to the galley by screaming and crying on tv won't help.
 
What the hell would they do in the film? They don't know how she went missing yet, it could've been the parents so they can't show their reactions and what they're going through.

And they havn't got an ending. I say wait a few years. It's like doing a 9/11 movie just after the first plane hit and when they didn't even know what type of plane and it was all just rumours.

EDIT: Lol! And by coincidence, this is my 747th post. 747 aka the boeing plane.
 
There must be enormous legal complications too, with a police investigation ongoing. I mean, the film could be completed and then new developments might arise, someone might be arrested and a trial might follow. In which case the studio might not be allowed to distribute the film, and/or they might have the tale completely wrong. If any studio is crazy enough to make the film, I doubt we'll see Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman in the lead roles. It's too risky a project to accommodate a big budget, I'd have thought.
 
i assume anyone who thinks there is something wrong with the mccanns for trying to remain clear headed is either a child or severley lacking in empathy
 
Yeah, I would say different people have different ways of dealing with grief. How can someone say how they would act? Maybe the parents being "cold" is their way of dealing with it.
I thought the parents came back every half hour or something to check on the kiRAB, still I do question leaving 3 young children alone, unsupervised, in a very child/family friendly resort.
However if Maddie was indeed kidnapped, then the kidnapper is the real criminal, not the parents :(
 
:eek: A little soon, isn't it?

Will this be a direct adaptation of the McCann case, or one of those 'loosely based' things? I'm not sure how they'd go about putting this story into film, let alone why they'd want to do it in the first place (besides for money).
 
do you mean their house?? the money was help them look for their daughter - they needed their mortgage paying obviously as neither were working. christ, some people act as though we are still in the dark ages!
 
When the film comes out on DVD I imagine the Mail and Express fighting for the rights to include it in one of their giveaways :rolleyes::D (their poor readers have lived through every twist in the saga).

It really is too soon. There are other ways they can keep this in the public eye. A film is just about ca$hing in, and IMO it's a poor way to raise money.
