It is not clear if the shooting storyline will be in the film. Asad Rehman, spokesman for the de Menezes family, said: "If you can imagine what it must feel like, to think in a year or two's time, to walk down the street to see posters depicting how your loved one died in such horrific circumstances, it can only bring more anguish. "No-one has spoken to the family to say 'We are considering this, we know it may be painful'. "They are shocked that such a tragic story could become glamorised by a Hollywood film. "There's a big concern about such an issue being trivialised." No-one was available to confirm the plot details at EON Productions, the film company, currently shooting on location in Prague.
