The chilling murder of 13-year-old Queensland boy Daniel Morcombe will be made into a film, with promises of new information on the case.
Daniel was abducted from a Sunshine Coast bus stop in December 2003 and his remains were found in August 2011.
His parents Bruce and Denise never gave up on the search to find answers and justice for their son. They created the Daniel Morcombe Foundation which teaches young children about personal safety.
Danielโs story will now be told on the big screen โ if the filmmakers can get the financial backing. Itโs been in the works for 18 months, with scripts written.
The film will shed light on the familyโs search for the boy, and the police operation to catch his killer, Brett Peter Cowan.
Mr Morcombe said: โ(The filmmakers) will bring Danielโs legacy to life.โ
โAt times it gives you goosebumps, to be honest, and certainly the video clip thatโs been produced is a little haunting.โ
He continued: โWeโve just read the second script on the weekend and weโre really happy with that.โ
The filmmakers have launched an online campaign to raise funds for the film, with filming to begin early next year.
โPeople donโt make a lot of money out of film like they think they do, but people make films because they love to tell the story. And this story, in particular, is an extremely important story to tell,โ director Peter Cousens said.
