Kate and Gerry McCann have dismissed rumours that they are in talks to make a film about their missing daughter Madeleine.
Dad Gerry admitted that there had been "preliminary discussions" with production company IMG about a documentary, but said a film deal was "simply untrue".
He wrote on his blog that possible projects had been examined to see if they could help in the search for the four-year-old, who went missing from a resort in Portugal last May.
He said: "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.
"Each proposal is considered on whether it is likely to have a positive effect, either directly or indirectly, on the search for Madeleine."
