I think the reason that the DeLorean family has put their stamp of approval one the one project is because Mayer Morganroth - the scum attorney that dogged DeLorean to his dying day for a bogus law suit, has threatened to sue the DeLorean estate if he does not get his pound of flesh from the sale of the movie.

There is a another DeLorean movie in pre-production called 'Greed and Dreams' based on the book 'Running Naked' by H.H. Chandler -

The hiring of Holmes puts XYZ and Time in the driver's seat, as another DeLorean project, from David Permut, has not moved forward with any director attached.games

There is also a Delorean project happening in the UK that i have heard about
called JD & Coke.

Sharon, given your extensive experience with the Times, maybe you could explain the necessity of DeLorean's family's OK. Looks more like blackmail because the guy's a public figure. I cannot imagine why the family is required if the movies stick with the public record or extrapolation -- anything *but* personal family history type stuff. For that matter, the story itself is reasonably compelling; how well known the DeLorean name is now is another issue. I'd venture pretty much unknown. So the value of the name is minimal, I would think. Looks like just a family shakedown (irony notwithstanding).
