...is looking like it won't happen now, despite months of development
work.

Without going into lots of detail, it's hit the familiar Hollywood
iceberg (the one which would've set Good Omens in Indiana without the
Four Horsemen).  People suddenly grow an extra head and say things like
"we have to make this relevant to the American teenager".  And it's at
times like this I get very glad that control has not been completely
relinquished, because people are going to start suggesting really dumb
things.   There's still some UK involvement, but I really cannot see a
purely UK movie made.  Mort isn't fashionable UK movie material --
there's no parts in it for Hugh or Emma, it's not set it Sheffield, and
no one shoves drugs up their bum...
