London - The parents of British girl Madeleine McCann have dismissed speculation that they were planning to endorse plans to make a film about the girl's disappearance. However, a spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann in Britain confirmed that the couple had met representatives of a leading entertainment firm that wanted to make a film about their story before Christmas.
But in his latest blog entry on the official Find Madeleine website, Gerry McCann wrote: "We can categorically deny that we are considering a movie about Madeleine's disappearance."
"This is simply untrue. We are approached by a huge number of media outlets regarding a myriad of projects, only a tiny proportion of which we agree to," he said.
Each proposal was considered on whether it was likely to have a positive effect, either directly or indirectly, on the search for Madeleine.
The 4-year-old disappeared in May from a holiday apartment the McCanns had rented in Praia da Luz, on the Algarve in Portugal.
