Will Marlowe ever make it to the big screen?

It looks like Natural Nylon, the London-based film production company that owned the rights to Alex Ayres' Marlowe film script, may have put plans to shoot on the shelf for good. According to an article in British Theater Guide, the key players of the company bailed out earlier this year. Is that the end of the Marlowe film as well? I haven't spoken with Alex lately, and he's not much of an emailer, but I'll try to find out.
