According to Screen Daily, 9 Songs and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story director Michael Winterbottom revealed this week that his company Revolution has optioned Murder in Samarkand, the memoirs of Craig Murray, the former UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan.

Comedian Steve Coogan is in the frame to play Murray, who was sacked in 2004 after drawing attention to torture and human rights abuses in Uzbekistan. Murray's book will be published by Mainstream in June.

Winterbottom anticipates that it will take over a year to set the Craig Murray film up.
