A teacher from East London has decided against letting Johnny Depp's company Infinitum Nihil produce a film of her novel 'The Carbon Diaries 2015', because she was not happy with the fact that they wanted to set it in the US. Saci Lloyd, who works at Newham Sixth Form College, has instead granted the rights to the book, which is aimed at teenagers and deals with the issue of climate change, to UK film outfit Company Pictures, who produced Channel 4's 'Skins'. Ms Lloyd said: "Much as I love Johnny Depp and it was a wrench, it was a 'maybe later, Johnny'. These books are really about London. It's a heightened reality, but the idea is it's close to things that could really happen".
