Exclusive: Netflix has won a competitive auction for rights to feel-good rom-com Lost Dog: A Love Story, an adaptation of Brit journalist Kate Spicer’s memoir of the same name.
Former New Line exec Lynn Harris is producing with her Weimaraner Republic partner Matti Leshem (The Shallows). Bash Doran, whose credits include Netflix’s Outlaw King, Channel4 and Netflix series Traitors and Hulu’s The Looming Tower, is attached to adapt.
The plot will follow a down-on-her-luck woman who searches the streets of London for the rescue dog that saved her life.
Spicer’s memoir charts how she was a middle aged woman trying to steer some order into a life that was going off the rails until a shabby rescue dog saved her from herself. When the dog disappeared she beat the streets of London in search of the pet. Along the way, she made allies including psychics, bloggers and mysterious midnight joggers.

The big story
Prometheus is now very nearly upon us. The 'most anticpated film of the year' (as the poster has it) hits UK cinemas tomorrow, and if you're already planning to see it you may wish to whet your appetite further with this video, in which director Ridley Scott and star Noomi Rapace discuss extra terrestrials, the danger in searching for answers to life's big questions, and how much Alien, Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic, has influenced his new film.
If that's not enough for you, read our in-depth interview with Prometheus screenwriter Damon Lindelof, take a look at our gallery of the 10 best screen aliens, or cut straight to the chase and find out what Peter Bradshaw made of Prometheus in his review – which, in some quarters, was nearly as eagerly anticipated as the film itself.
