Film about Fischer cancelled?!

A year ago I read that Mr McDonald, who directed King of Scotland, was going to direct a film about Bobby Fischer called "Bobby Fischer Goes to War" based on the book with the same name.

Now however I heard that the film has been cancelled since Hollywood like all other industries has been affected by the economic slowdown.

Does anyone know if this is true?

movies on the decline really?
during the great depression movies audiences were on the rise. People need an escape from the bad times.
Oh well maybe it just gets made later

According to imdb.com, the film's scheduled to appear in 2010. But maybe the listing isn't up to date....

Off topic, but how was that book?

As you say according to imdb the film is still scheduled and that is why I am confused myself. If one searches for the film on google there is no information saying it is in fact cancelled.

I have not read the book unfortunetely.

imdb is usually right? anyone know?

according to IMDB, the movie The Kings of New York, based on the book of the same name, is coming up in 2010

I'd love to see the film of the '72 match that Chester Fox has.

He filmed 90% of the match but Fuscher stopped him from using the film.

Still think there never has and most likely never will be a good film about chess.

How can they put across on film how we chess players feel about the game.
